Where did all they calls go my lovely?

Two days on, and two days shifts on the car. On the first day I managed a monumental four jobs, all in latter half of the day, and on the subsequent day I managed an awe-inspiring two jobs. One early in the morning, and one which made me late finishing! The rest of the day, apart from a mercy mission to fetch the milk, was spent on station, reading and generally clearing up my admin.

I also had time to plan out some of my stories. In the interest of anonymity and to avoid any press coverage of any incident, I may at times delay putting fingers to keybooard with regard to a particular story for a few days, weeks or even months.

Anyhoo, It seems that we have an out of sync year this year. The quiet patch may have hit early.

So, to an Ambulance related story reported to me by a colleague. It happened. A lady, I shall call her Marcy, went up to our headquarters recently to sit an exam. On her arrival, she tried to gain access to the building, but found that her tag would not open the door. Eventually, a man drove up to the building, parked his car, and approached her, asking, "Will it not let you in?"

"No" she replied.

"I will let you in then. You will need to get your tag seen to, as you should be able to get in."

"Ok," she said, " I'll try, but it's typical of the Anywhere Ambulance Service".

"Sounds like you aren't in favour of the Service," said the man.

"Oh, I am," she replied, "but great job, crap employer!"

The man looked aghast. Pondered a moment, and replied, " As the Chief Executive I can't say I subscribe to that train of thought!" and departed up the stairs.

Poor Marcy. It has been suggested that we nominate her head of Tact and Diplomacy. And send her pictures of other high ranking members of staff, so that she can avoid similar situations!
