Going Alone

Come 5am this morning, the shift was destined for a grade of 'distinctly average' but to make it a little more interesting and a little less 'distinctly average', he decided to have a fit! I'm sure he didn't decide to have one. I'm fairly sure they just happen, however they have never happened before in the presence of paramedics who went overboard and called an ambulance..

Now, 2 things, 1) Why would they call ANOTHER ambulance when they are in one already.. and 2) why the hell did they call one at all?! I mean, he's had loads before and just snapped out of it so what would make this one any different? He sat down and after 15 minutes he did snap out of it but the paramedics who were there, (4 of them by now... seemed like a waste to me...), decided it was best if he had a trip to the hospital. They asked me a few questions about his "medical history" like I was his friend or something and I must have sounded a bit mean when I said "I haven't a clue". I was tempted to say, "He's had a long history of being a COMPLETE MORON!", but I resisted..

So, 5:15am and he had been carted off, needlessly, in the back of an ambulance. I wasn't supposed to be in this place on my own, but it was only 20 minutes before the manager turned up..

"Where is he?" he asked.. I replied with, "He never turned up, it's just been me all night" and got a shocked look in return. Clearly, I told him I was joking and he got taken away by the green people in the back of a van with a few yellow stripes and a blue light on top and I got the same shocked look in response. I wasn't surprised it happened really. It was going to at some stage. I'm also being optimistic in hoping that's the end of him. It won't be.

To be fair, I do have a lot to thank The Wall for. Him being so bad, makes me look very good when I really am just 'distinctly average', and it does provide some moments of entertainment although I wouldn't regard it as "entertainment" at the time..

So, my 'distinctly average' night was brightened up a bit by spending 30 minutes less time than I had to with The Wall and then I got to go home again! I bought a Cheese and Baked Bean muffin that I had cooked 30 minutes earlier.. (Yeah, they really are as bad as they sound!), and drove home looking forward to cricket later. I have been forced out of retirement because our new captain is a bully!

2 more shifts then 2 days off, then a monster week before I am free.. 12 days and counting..

Bye x
