First off let me say that one of my biggest fears is to be subjected to sit in a dentist chair. One of my co-workers told me about the dentist she see's and when she gives a recommendation, it's usually a good one.. I sit in the chair today after not being seen by a dentist with this vision of "CM you need a root canal." Well the vision was changed when he said "no Root Canals but you have cavities." I basically did the happy dance in my head as like many out there who I know have had them rank Root Canals as a torture treatment.
Ike ( what was left of it) literally "blew thru" this morning. It's a sad thing to think of but with all the devestation that has taken place in Texas could finally reach here with such minor ramifications.
Days Off: Well they were spent contacting my cell co's insurance plan to request a new phone as mine with all the numbers in the world that are important went thru a wash/rinse cycle (ouch!!!). Please note: if you are in the field and you wear the 5.11 pants make dayum sure to check ALL the pockets twice.
My 12 hour shift at "Nameless U" went well. I did the usual answer the calls from the students about getting in here or there or helping out the Officers who are in the field.
I had sent Ambulance Mommy a comment about the Magic 8 Ball. It's the ole eight ball where you shake the livin heck out of it while thinkin of a question and the answer appears. I would love to make one just for Law Enforcement,EMS or Fire issues or just general anwers that could be applied to College environments.
Something that comes up every year from time to time is the poor souls who would rather take their own life rather than asking for help thats readilly available. Please if you know of someone who is depressed or has made idle jokes about hurting themselves or simply put "ending it all" be their friend stand up for them and call 911 or the Suicide Hotline and get them some help. At first they may be mad at you but in the long run they will thank you for helping them.
Thats the Rants and Raves for the day. Time to go play the Wii and relax before meeting up with some friends later :).

meant to comment about this when I read it, but as you can see, time went by too fast. Did something happen on campus? Suicide? Student deaths are horrible. Those are the hands down worst calls to get. Sorry :(
Unfortunately we get times here like most big "Nameless U's" do where the kids don't think life is worth living anymore....
I've worked my fair share of calls where the results weren't in a positive outcome. I'll explain more at another time.... Over all I'm ok I'm hiding from Nameless U today as they tried to lasso me for OT again.
