Venting a bit

I'm going for a very rewarding firefighter position, so I'm trying to keep my social media fairly clean. As such..... You guys get to hear my ranting vent.

To the ATT employee who completely disregarded the red lights on my engine, the two ambulances, two other fire trucks, a plethora of cops, and my commands to pull over and stop only to drive straight through my emergency scene; I sure hope clocking out and getting home to your family was worth jeopardizing the lives of my crew and I. It is so nice having someone's truck squeeze past us while we're trying to work. Stay real playa. FREAKING IDIOT!

Most people are at cognitive redline with just not hitting anything.

Oh, I know. I spent several years on the highways in Atlanta working for the DOT and a contractor.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity

It helps if you remember that everyone is doing their best from their level of consciousness
