Working Thanksgiving ain’t bad if you work EMS… First of all, I worked with one of the. most fun guys in the company. Second of all, it’s a day when no-one wants to go to the hospital and most of the times the call volume is actually decent. Yes you miss out of family time and all that but for me who doesn’t have a family… yeah… I enjoy spending it with my work family. And then the food. They say that Firefighters can cook, that’s probably one of the reasons I will never become a firefighter – I’m a useless cook. But EMS folks are not that bad! And hospital people are also good!

We dropped off one patient at the ER in Cedar Creek Lake… the staff was very persistent about we must get food. Finally both me and Larry gave in, knowing that there would be food at the station in the afternoon. But it was still lunch time and a couple of hours until then. So we at least went and had a look…

There was so much food! It was just never ending! Anyone who went in the doors at the ER for any reason was fed! And it was delicious! Even thou I had a really small plate, I was so full afterwards!

And as I said… just a couple of hours later we got the opportunity to stop by the station to eat more food… I ate more food yesterday than I have eaten in months! I gained 4 freaking pounds!!!

My regular partner Rance had smoked this turkey… it was amazing… just saying!

So if you were worried that I didn’t get any thanksgiving food… I was covered! I was so full all day long! And I was actually proud of myself to of all these desserts, I only had a square of brownie!

A big thanks to everyone who cooked and made sure that all of us on duty was well fed! All of it was delicious!!!
