I’d like to stick her landing. ?
Yet somehow I’m ok with that.Yeah, but you would only once.
About 10 years ago at the Station I was sitting on the bumper of the rig in the bay. A few of the younger guy's were out there too,beautiful summer Saturday. A couple youngish girls (over 21,under 25) stop to talk. With the younger firemen of course. Anyway one sits on the bumper with me and asks if I'm still a working fireman and I say yeah I am. Then she asks how old I am and I tell her. Next thing she say's Wow your in good shape I'd do you in a minute. My reply "That's good Dear because that's about how long it might take" She laughed.
Good work, but never sell yourself short. Should have told her about how much more you have learned over the years and if she’d like to see. ?
Exactly. I'm now looking at our new guys that are 21-ish years old. I'm biologically old enough to be their dad, almost been on the FD since before they were born. Sometimes my age group has to remind them "we know stuff".
I would always tell those guy's I have more time on the "floor above' then you have in the Fire Service. Another good one was we got ice cream in the freezer longer than you've been here.Exactly.

I retired as an electrical lineman with nearly 35 years of service. I helped train lots of guys younger than my service duration. Had kids older than they were. Had bosses younger than my service time even. The successful ones ask for the older guys help and support. The not so successful ones tried to change the world before getting dry behind the ears!
My oldest Son went to work for the phone company as an installer. Went to school at night, got a degree and got promoted into management. He calls me every so often and ask me how to break some kind of news to guys like me thats been there longer than he is old. Kind of funny in a way. Kind of good in another way that he's smart enough to try getting along with his employees. I've tried to offer sound advice.

That there was cutting edge technology back the last time the Dallas Cowboys won the superbowl.
Jesus. Make sure your write-protect tab is slid into position!
Thanks AOL for sending me free floppies also. A little scotch tape and now I can format your free gift!
Truest fucking statement I have heard in a long time!!!
A 1 mil target, I finally figured out a use for mine.
As most modern desktop motherboards don't have the port for an internal floppy drive on them, I'd suggest just getting an external USB floppy drive to keep on hand, or keep and old PC in the closet.
Few years ago I had a fresh out of Paramedic school rookie with me on the ambulance. We were going out of district with that distict's engine. Got disregarded, then got asked to return. I looked at the rookie and said exactly this "if there is any shit come down from what I am about to do, I got it. I'll make sure you are not going to be in trouble. But what I am about to do, you cannot do." He said in a shaky voice "what are you gonna do?" I said, "just watch." Checked on scene, got out (he's following) walked right past the Captian standing on the sidewalk, into the house. I asked the fairly new guys on the engine if it was going to be a transport. They said no. I said "your computer working?" Yes. I did an about face, told my rookie "let's go" walked right past the Captain without a word, got in the ambulance and told the rookie to drive. Cleared over the radio with dispatch.
See, some lazy asses don't want to write a no transport patient care report, and throw it off on the ambulance crew. Yeah, fuck that.
The rookie looked at me and said "damn I can't wait until I've been here long enough to do shit like that!" I said, you'd better wait about a decade and a half, stay out of trouble, and make a hand, every shift.
There is such a thing as a "made guy". Seen it for a long time.
I am sure that within a few minutes, some commie Russian bot here on SH will be trashing me for posting this.
Cheers,
Sirhr
