I've heard much talk of holiday memories floating around, it got me thinking about some of my own... I don't remember the exact year, but it was at least 6 years ago, I was still working working full time on the ambulances. It Thanksgiving Day and the family was gathered at my moms house. To my dismay, I was getting ready to head out for my 12 hour shift of ambulance craziness. My brother was the one carving the turkey that year. He took it upon himself to shave me off a few slices and put them in a ziplock baggy so I could have Thanksgiving dinner at work. We even packed an extra portion for my partner too.
When I got work that night we were almost immediately sent to South King County to cover Federal Way and Kent. It was a slow night and we found ourselves sitting at Federal Way quarters watching Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving while enjoying our turkey in a ziplock. I almost forgot that we were at work until finally a call went out and our pagers went off.
