Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. - Booker T. Washington
The Fire Marshal is a law enforcement officer, part of the Washington State Patrol, and works closely with Fire & Rescue. These are crime scenes, under his jurisdiction until he releases them, and he retains us to help with the investigation and secure the sites. (Which is handy, as he pays $25/hour, whereas if the fire watch is for "normal" reasons all we get is coffee and cookies :-) )
We generally have only two sheriff's deputies on-duty, and 70 fire/rescue folks available at the drop of a hat.
Sorry to hear about the arsonist - that's more than a peeve! I hope there's some insurance to cover the losses?
Thank you Bae for all you do. I grew up in a small town with a volunteer fire/rescue dept. When the fire alarm sounded, I think they made it to the station in less than 2 minutes. I believe the calls rang on their phones too which was a special ring tone. When I moved to the city I was shocked that people actually got paid full time to be a fireman. I see why that is necessary in large cities but I was pretty naïve back then.
IDK if this is really a daily peeve or a rant. In April a friend (S) of ours died from lung cancer. She was 51 and had been married to R for almost 10 years. He took care of her to the end and she died at home. She had a FB page and I happened to find it and he is now posting that he is dating. Posted that he had 2 dates with one woman and her name is x. S had 2 boys and one is married. His wife posted on FB that R should get his own FB page. He claims to be ignorant to knowing how to do that. I find this so tacky and almost unbelievable. I thought he would have more sense than this.
That is super yucky, Simpler at Fifty!!! I hope he figures it out, how unbelievable!!
Peeve of today = fibs. We had a cancellation to our free event, which wouldn't have bothered me at all seeing as we had a bunch of no shows (for free events I actually prefer no shows rather than last-minute cancellations because they are essentially the same thing and then I don't have to read a bunch of e-mails about it), but the woman said she was having child care issues. But she has nooooooo idea that I am FB friends with her FiL and that I know that she took her kids to the zoo with Grandma and Grandpa. Just say you're cancelling. No reason needed, and certainly not a lie. Ok, I'm done, and it was a beautiful day so I hope she had fun.
