So my first week is complete and Im lovin it (so far). All went well, except that I slept through my first call out (Chief wasnt impressed). Left the pager on vibrate. Oh well, rookie mistake.

I had a rather un-easy feeling last Sunday night, wondering if I made the right choice. But now Im sure I did.

Thanks again for all the encouragement and kind words!

Well...after almost 24 years, Ive decided to give up the BRT. Ive accepted a promotion and will now be part of...of...of...admin.

Ill be running our fire prevention division. Its a nice raise, and I even get a car (lol), but Im sure Ill miss shift work. After all these years, M-F, 8-5 is going to take some getting used too.

Wish me luck Bro's, Ill need it. I just hope the crossed buggles wont short out my brain.

My first reaction was "Holy ****" .... never expected that!

CONGRATULATIONS, DAVE! I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision. Have fun

Congratulations Dave. I moved from rotating shifts (after 16 years) to the dark side 6 years ago. I sometimes miss being on the engine, and especially the nights and weekends-thats when we had the most fun. I do not miss the "smells and bells" calls.

It took me a few months to get used to the new schedule. The biggest benefit for me is being able to attend activities with my family instead of getting stuck in the firehouse.
