I am not sure what to say about that.

One of the nicest parts of going from rural to a city was turning in that damn pager.
I do miss sleeping at night on shift, though.
Yeah, that pager runs your whole life and controls what you can and cannot do out here in the wilds. I hated that dispatch would hit every pager in the county all summer about any little weather watch. I mean come on! It's just a watch. Page me when a tornado actually hits. Until then, let me sleep.
I thought about going to the city. Better schedule and more money and more calls. But somebody has to be out here in the hinterlands. There just ain't enough of us anywhere, city or country.
You stay safe and party on!
