I left the Anything Service and started my new job six weeks ago. Best decision I've made since I packed in smoking! Got to the stage I had nothing but contempt for Joe Public. Used to fantasise about smothering piss heads to death in the back of the van. Would happily sit around the corner while some urban warrior bled to death or choked on his own innit. The great unwashed are just not worth the grief. Sure there was the odd 'proper job' or deserving case, but not enough to make it worth risking my own safety for. I used to be proud to say I was an Ambulanceman. I'm now proud to say I've left all that shit behind. I am much happier and much nicer to be around. Seriously Tom, fuck 'em. Let some mad keen ECA or unibod wipe their arses 'til they've had enough. Get out mate. There are far more worthy and satisfying jobs out there. Happy Birthday, make it the First Day of your new life.
