J. Grimm Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 *i Walk into the station which feels strange at first. I was gone for quiet some time, first a visit of my home town in germany then I snapped my ankle and had to take an even longer forced time out. It feels like I’m walking in here for the first time. With the coffe cup in my hand I make the turn into the duty room and sit on a chair. I make a small pain stung face as I sit down, barley noticeable, fuck… my ankle…* ‘Morning.

J. Noel Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Walking into the duty room I check my phone again. Still no word, I guess this shift will go ahead as usual for me. I slide it back into my pants pocket and sit down at the desk, wheeling the chair into the computer. At least enough warm bodies showed up to staff an engine, right?

J. Noel Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 'I'm not picky, whoever normally drives is fine by me. That's you, right?' I push myself up and make my way upstairs. The weather looks like it'll be fairly nice today, so I plan for at least one dumbass call. That means starting my paperwork now so I don't fall behind.

D. Wilson Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I walk into the duty room, checking the assignment list before heading back out into the bay.

F.
