Would've posted yesterday but my modem imploded like a dying star. Had to go in for 12 hour day anyway so wouldn't have had time.
Boss has called off two days due to personal issues, and has calmed down due to them thank god. Or at least till he gets back and sees what people have been doing.
Last night we get ambulance call cause kid has depression. I arrive, they then tell me he needs drug test, so I have to go back to shack to get paperwork. 2 cops blow past me. In the seconds I was gone he threatened suicide, and cops were notified because he can refuse an ambulance but not them. They take him for 24 hour suicide watch.
Guy calls and threatens hell on earth if we dont put him in touch with his coordinator, who then threatens us with hell on earth if we give out his number again like we're supposed to.
I go to do parking control and nearly get rammed three times by employees so now I am in no mood. I am literally considering walking over to the geese and saying "Lo, I have forsaken humanity, teach unto me your ways that I may seek revenge."
Im doing rounds when I get call 2-3 hours after ambulance, Would-be suicide is ready for pickup. How the fuck do you weasel your way out of a suicide watch?
Before I can return to vehicle, I get call ambulance is on way. Girl is having panic attack, and is on floor hugging table leg not responding to anyone. So I have to do her first. New kid who took call doesn't know her location. "How are you directing the ambulance when they get here? Call them back." He calls and says is East Break room. "There are three break rooms, which one is East?" He doesn't know. Call them back. I'm driving I can't do that and dial phone at same time. Ambulance arrives and we take long, winding way through factory interrupting everyones work and freaking people the hell out when they could have just had them come through shipping. Which would have been closer and far less disruptive, and we wouldn't set off alarm opening an emergency exit. As of beginning of first shift alarm was still going, because no one, including us, has apparently ever been told how to shut the goddamn thing off.
I finish round and get told she's ready for pickup. I'm on my way back when phone rings. It's the lady from swing shift who isn't due in till the weekend. She yells at me for answering after 3 rings. "I'm in traffic, what the fuck do you want?" She gets pissed and goes on rant about how I'm like the 'goddamn welfare people' so i tell her to fuck off and hang up. Meanwhile the employee I picked up is staring at me like I'm a were-mongoose and have shifted without realizing it. I get back and ask the new kid why she called me on the security cell phone instead of shack. Turns out she did call shack, told him he was 'fucking useless' before calling me. Called him after I hung u and ranted at him again. Never did find out what the hell it was all about. I have now vowed to come in on days off to find the raccoon lair. Every weekend on her shift I intend to get them liquored up on mountain dew and peanut butter as long as they promise shenanigans.
