Today was the state practical exam for EMT-B, which means I'm up at 4:00 a.m. and on the road. The test went well; it was a lot less intimidating to do than it was to think about. The way the test works is fairly straightforward; you have four stations, each with one or two sections. If you fail more than two stations or pass all stations, you are sent home without word; if you fail only one, they keep you and have you re-take that station. I was sent home directly, which means I either failed miserably or passed, and since I don't believe I screwed anything up in a major way, I'm guardedly optimistic. I won't know for sure for a few weeks, at which point I'll either be able to re-test or schedule my written exam.
My shift last week was uneventful - no calls. Just a test prep session. I did manage, however, to completely destroy my transmission first thing in the morning to the point where I have to find a new car.
Sorry for a pretty weak post, but I've been up for 12 intense hours. You'd think I'd be used to that kind of thing by now.
