I haven't worked a real radio channel in five months. It means some skills are a little rusty. It also means that frankly, I need time on a less busy channel or whatnot to get back into practice. There's reason I'm supposed to work 4-8 hrs of radio a month.

Which, obviously hasn't been happening. So anyways, we did some finagling of the schedule to be able to get a bunch of our dispatchers into classes, and to compensate, those of us in the training office were gonna work the floor. There was a plan. A good plan.

The plan was me working breaker for 8/10 hours today, which means I wouldn't really have any one channel for more than 30 mins at a time. Then go back into the office for 2 hrs to work on my regular stuff.

INSTEAD. They tossed me on the BUSIEST fucking channel of all of them, for my last two hours.

So now I have a headache, my chest hurts, I had two very small anxiety attacks, and I am CRANKY AF.

Tomorrow Im supposed to work 8 hours on back up. I stg they better not put me on anything stupid my last two hours ago or I will go home sick.

that sounds shitty, I'm sorry <33

It was uneccessarily strressful and I feel bad for my coworkers because I get very cursey and very abrupt when Im that stressed.
But thank you <3

Oh, that sucks I'm sorry
