Yikes....but you big strong firefighter-type person....I'm sure you'll be fine.
Just don't keel over and die or anything. That would probably lessen your chances of employment....
I agree, I think she thought she would just throw that out there and no one would question it. I seldom get a ball down the middle and dont swing at it, and that was a big fat one. I think you have pretty much crushed her credibility on this point.
Stay safe!
Thanks for the comment on Chiefs discussion.....I always work with the attitude that "it's all small stuff". Montgomery Fire and Rescue has had 12 firefighter suicides in the last 10 years. Houston Fire has had similar ...... and the point of open and up front discussion with the chiefs who are on the front lines is was and will be....one of getting the message out that.....it is way overdue to pull up our hitch and begin to address the issues...in a fair frank open and honest dialogue...So....I have worn my Rangers in other peoples houses as a 26 year career firefighter with IAFF and know when and where the boots have taken me......suffice to say.....ppe is still required when dealing with provincialisim and o.b.c. attitudes in the emergent 21st Century. Web stats for NAFFVN went past 126 thousand hits over 20 months. 15 Hits from China 7 From S. Korea.....Russian Federation Italy, Spain and yes Argentina......Seems like that part of the Message is getting out there.....cake for everyone.....much work to do....off I go....ten and six ten and six.....mad as a hatter.....
I'm not even dating Jon anymore and he still manages to upset me. It's not just him, but this whole lack of a social life thing... it's REALLY getting to me this summer already.
