Today was two years in the making. I filed the last paperwork of my divorce. Pending judge approval I am a single women again!

Oh ****. I feel better now about hitting on you before I knew you were taken, but...uh...dibs!

Also that's insensitive. So what I meant to say: I'm so sorry for the divorce, but good riddance. 😎
 
The shelter I volunteer at posts on their volunteer group every morning who got adopted the previous day, but the ladies who do it are OOO for the holiday. So they're going to do one huge post I think tomorrow or Monday with everyone who got adopted over the holiday and I am so excited. I didn't even realize how much I enjoyed those daily posts until recently.

On a similar note, I went in this morning to walk some dogs and since I'm new I can only walk certain dogs, all of whom were taken when I got there. So I just sat with and socialized an 11 week old shepherd puppy who's not allowed to go on walks yet. Cuddly little boy named Bullet.

Mine was a combination of a local anesthetic and cortisone, so I highly doubt I'm in any danger of addiction lol. I know the corticosteroids can give some people a high, but it doesn't do it for me. But to have my pain drop from 8 to 5/10 in about 15 minutes was magical, especially after several weeks at that level! Greater occipital... ultrasound guided.
 
I just got off the phone with my hubby (currently LDR) and I can't stop laughing! The police showed up at the door and woke him up at 5 AM. He'd left the cordless phone in the bed and my cat walked across it and dialed 911! :laugh:

Oh yeah Halstead used cocaine...it’s sad...because they really just didn’t know.

I work in a city with the "919" area code and you cannot even begin to imagine how many times people double tap the one and inadvertently call 911.

Well somebody planned that poorly, didn't they....

Used to happen to us at work every now and then, too. 9 for a line out followed by 1 for a long-distance call. It was especially embarrassing when they sent an ambulance... I worked in a hospital!

My work is like that too. So far I've yet to dial 911 after almost a year.
 
At my dispatch job, some dude accidentally called 911 surrounded by cows, and it sounded like spanking sounds and mooing. All he said was "[Unintelligible] Gosh dern .... son of a ____!" and more spanking and mooing.

Sheriff's deputies didn't follow up. It was humorous as heck, but I secretly wonder if he truly needed an ambulance or something, and that was his last cry for help. There were a lot of 911 calls that whoever was in charge chose not to follow up, even though I wouldn't have made that call.

They can just choose not to follow up...?

What if someone passes out right after they call? What if someone is choking?
What if someone is working with livestock and gets slammed into a wall by a bull, or gets in an accident with farming equipment?

Hmm, I post this response with the disclaimer/understanding that I'm not a lawyer and also don't represent my former employer from many years ago. Etc. etc. CYA/liability blah blah. These are just my thoughts and opinions.




Anyways, lest I give the wrong impression, the vast majority (pretty much the rule rather than the exception) of calls get a callback. Even a brief, "Aye, you called 911. Is everything okay?" And most of those people are like "Oh crap, I'm so sorry, total accident. I pocket dialed you guys. Everything's fine."

(Honestly one of my cell phones called 911 like last week and I got a callback and I was totally oblivious and embarrassed. This phone sucks and will be replaced soon anyways.)

And there's also cases of abuse/domestic violence/whatever where a partner/spouse will be like "Everything's fine! :nod: " but it doesn't sound fine (aka the spouse will beat the caller up otherwise...or I dunno maybe in a hostage or home invasion situation) then we'll still dispatch police/sheriff (depending if inside the city limits or outside) to follow-up. If it sounds sketch, we'd let the LEO know and they'd likely bump up the priority and show up non-emergently (no lights or sirens) and knock on the door and speak to the people. If it doesn't sound sketchy, then it gets a very low priority follow-up -- perhaps within the hour -- and an officer/deputy drives by and knocks on the door anyways.

So that's the good news; i.e., the vast majority of 911 hangups or butt dials or pocket dials or cat dials get a callback anyways. And sometimes whether or not the callback is successful, an officer or deputy will still physically check it out.

Heh, I've had people pass out on me on the phone or go in and out of consciousness (cardiac issues like MI, respiratory distress, hypotension, whatever) and that's kind of a no brainer to get a bambulance to them immediately. (Unless you're dealing with a ***** dispatcher who doesn't know when to draw the line between getting more information vs. toning out EMS...like there's a line and protocol, but <snip>)

I'm digressing.

So I think the good news is that pretty much everything gets a f/u or callback. And now in 2019 EVERYONE has a cell phone, and nearly everyone has a smartphone, which has GPS or A-GPS, Glonass, Galileo, etc. etc. so the location accuracy is WAYYYY better today than it was in the early 2000s when E-911 (aka Wireless Phase 2) was being rolled out. Like back then I'd hit refresh and the caller's location would jump 3-4 houses every second, so the triangulation sucked. Now I bet the accuracy is within maybe 5-15 yards.

My concern, however, is that in most places nationwide, the emergency dispatch job requires just a HS diploma and zero criminal history, so a pretty low bar, so there is huge variance in competence, critical thinking and problem solving skills, and laziness/initiative. I had a little girl call me on 911 and whisper "Help me" and I traced her call to some field on some rural farm or whatever, but it was out of our jurisdiction -- I think the cell phone towers were in our county so got routed to our 911 instead of her county's 911. I was a rookie but I'm not gonna let that noise go, so I copied the GPS into Google Maps and called/e-mailed the appropriate county, gave the details, and I followed through to make sure their deputies found the girl (it was nothing). But doing just basic legwork -- we weren't swamped -- isn't something that many people would do, and it seemed like my leadership were more interested in watching TV or being on Facebook than on stuff like that. Like Geezus.

My biggest concern is yes, the f/u is firstly at the dispatcher's discretion/knowledge (or their supervisors) before it even gets on the radar of police/fire/EMS/bomb squad/animal control/whoever, so if you have a negligent or *****ic dispatcher, it's possible that person will fall through the cracks. And that's my biggest worry, and I have recurrent nightmares where I call 911 and nobody answers or I get put on hold or ignored.

Wait nevermind nightmares, it's reality! I called 911 at my last place after witnessing 3-4 people fistfighting at like 2 AM. Like my eyes on them, a visual from my apartment window. 45 MINUTES LATER an officer drives by their apartment with the open door and just drives off. I called back and went "uh, your officer just drove by and didn't stop." Like that was a literal 3 vs. 1 drunken fight that had a 45 minute response time to a 911 call. KFC. (This was a different city's 911 from where I worked.)

This is a huge rambly post so idk if people will read it, but suffice it to say: Emergency services are human but aren't a panacea. By all means dial 911 as needed, and also program the non-emergency numbers for police/fire/ems/sheriff's office/animal control/poison control/everyone into your phone in case you feel like 911 is inappropriate... (making that red in case people skip my post but can benefit from having those numbers in their contacts!) but people can and do die or not get the help they need. I guess that's just life and it's super sad, and it pisses me off that a minority of people fall through the cracks and are given cruddy or incompetent responses.

To my example of the rural dude with the cows mooing and spanking sounds. I don't remember anyone calling him back because people were too busy laughing and concluding it was an accidental dial. But who's to say he wasn't trapped or pinned or bleeding or [whatever] and needed ambulance or fire or who knows? And if someone's choking or has about 10 seconds before they lose consciousness and the can't verbally/orally speak to the dispatcher, who's to say that a *****ic dispatcher -- even on follow-up call -- will just go "Okay, this person is silent, and I really need a cigarette right now." *click*

So I'll end with this: most everything gets a callback per SOP, and even a physical visit, but humans are completely idiotic and incompetent at baseline so it's possible that the person on the other end doesn't understand or doesn't care. BUT this is a very small minority, as most calls do get appropriate follow-up, so I hope I wasn't too alarming in my post or my tone. It just would royally suck to be in that 0.1% or whatever and be dismissed, yanno?

I don't know how to personally account for such a situation. I know that SMS (text message) to 911 is rolling out nationwide, so texting information to 911 could potentially open up new ways to get help if you can't speak or it's not safe to speak (eg in the trunk of someone's car). Maybe just keep calling 911 if you're conscious but unable to speak. Moan. I dunno. Try not to be in the tiny minority of people who fall through the cracks?

I think I have a training phone call still (actual phone call) where it was this farmer's little boy that got caught up in something like this:
2793701817_da3283671c.jpg

I don't know the exact equipment, but the little boy was severely and mortally injured, and the dad's voice on the call was... the audio's pretty traumatic. Ugh. Blech 🙁

That's very scary and way more than I knew before.
 
Not vet school related, but just found out our Stats professor is making the final optional (originally was supposed to be worth 15% of our grade) so if we like our current grade we are done!! I was so worried about this class because I am not really a math person, I am overjoyed to be sitting at a 99.8% and to have received my first A of the semester!!

I was actually wondering the other day why the heck they haven't done this already. Our school sent out active shooter guidelines and, as common sense would suggest, loudly calling for help and drawing attention to yourself by having conversations/having your phone ring or vibrate is not recommended while the shooter is at large. I'd imagine the same would be the case in some situations of domestic abuse or home invasion/burglary.

So it made me wonder why they don't have a way to quietly contact help and describe the situation by non-verbal means. Glad it's being implemented!

Text message is still verbal, it's just not oral. Unless you meant you only want to use emojis in said text message. 😛

Probably (hence posting here instead of telling people in real life who could judge me in person) LOL But did it make me embarassingly happy? Yes...so worth it. Haha

A record with a few Christmas songs on it. Do I actually own a record player? Nope. But did it come in red and green holiday colors and is it signed by a favorite singer? YUP! So excited for it to come, even if it will just sit on a shelf and look pretty. 😍

Also...it came with a link to a digital download so I can start listening to the Christmas music immediately. So my housemates probably are going to hate me shortly. :whistle:

My partner bought me Planet Zoo as a gift to celebrate me writing the NAVLE... he normally hates creative-type games (prefers more linear, story based games) but he is super into the game now :laugh: We only have one computer that will run it so we're having to play in shifts... he played from like 10am-7pm yesterday and would have kept going if I hadn't convinced him to eat dinner. I hopped on afterwards just to play "for an hour"... ended up going to bed at 2am :whistle: We're addicted ya'll :laugh:

Loooooved Zoo Tycoon! My husband got Planet Zoo and says it's good. I only have a Mac though so I can't get it and he lives 10 hours from me so unfortunately I won't get to really experience it 🙁

Typical sibling drama, I left to use the bathroom or something and my sister sat down in front of the computer and wouldn't get up. I got on my bed to kick her, she grabbed my foot, and I fell off the bed and had a FOOSH break. I also broke part of my bed
 
Wait actually money rave after my sarcastic one: my boss from before I started school asked me to pet/house sit for him while he’s on vacation which coincides with my winter break. I have nothing else to do, and it mainly just requires me being there in the morning and at night to walk his dog and give meds/food/water. He’s paying me the equivalent of an entire month’s rent plus utilities (I live in philly. Rent isn’t cheap lol). I’ve said on here before how awesome of a guy he is, and this really solidified that even more. And he’s sending me a holiday card with money in it. I’m so lucky to have found a boss/mentor like him.

It's awesome! So much flexibility with customization, the animal models are extremely well done with great animations, etc etc. Highly recommend. Just be warned you will need a fairly heavy duty computer to run it... there are so many models because of the customization possibilities that it is super taxing on your CPU.
 
I love our community so much. I reached out to alumni from my school today to understand how a job offer with pro+sal would affect me and have connected with the two kindest vets ever who have taken time out of their days to educate me on how to advocate for myself. Makes me a lot more confident going into negotiations and so grateful for our greater vet community :biglove:

I get to have surgery two days outta my week twice in a row!! This past week and next week. It has become my haven. I still have a long ways to go, but man, it is definitely my happy place in work. I am still a shaky mess at times, but I adore it. Don't know that I would give up the client time though. Had a Jason Mamoa lookalike with a french bulldog puppy visit yesterday that was also quite pleasant. Too bad my face was an oily mess because I wasn't able to take a lunch or time to refresh after a helluva morning into afternoon. He didn't seem to notice... or at least he was too polite to point out my disheveled appearance. haha

Posting here because it's 11 pm and nobody I know is awake, but I must tell the world that I got 100% on my organic chemistry final? Kinda want to email the professor and ask if that's an error?

Things are looking up and I'm pretty proud of myself 😀 Ok, end rave.
