Wow you're not kidding. I wonder if this happens to dispatchers a lot.

Been one. Every now and then. You actually get trained for how to listen for cues that the person can't speak freely.

NOOOOOOOOO THEY'RE GONNA GET DIARRHEA

I'm really torn, not that I really follow football. I watched the NFC championship this year with my dad, took me to up to see the Seahawks in 1996, complete with foam cheesehead. At the time the Seahawks sucked and I was a Packers fan (like he was) for life. And watching them lose was tough, but my ex was probably as big of a Packers fan as he is, so I got a little satisfaction in knowing that her and my ex father in law's heads exploded that day. And I'm kinda seeing a girl who's super into the Patriots, which is weird because she's never been on the east coast.

So, do I support my "local" team who pissed off so many of my friends from the Midwest, even if they live on the west coast now, or wish for a team that cheated with deflated balls to get there kick their ass? I'll probably just watch the Puppy Bowl.

I used to watch the Superbowl with my dad, but now he has dementia and can't drive over here and doesn't know what's going on anyway. If I go to his place my eyes start to burn after about 20 minutes because of my mom's smoking and he doesn't want to watch the game anyway. So that's kind of sad but I will probably watch the game anyway and pour one out for the dad that I used to have.

The good thing about being in medical school is that you have plenty of reasons not to care about stuff like this. That said, many of my classmates are going to waste precious nap time to watch this thing.

You don't call out for pizza or some shit afterwards?

I wish that fucking operator just got the hint ya know? Reminds me of that one news story about the operator that hung up on a 911 call because the person was swearing before the operator picked up the phone.

Maybe it was an officer who hung up, whatever. Fuck lamers.

Dispatchers are trained not to do stupid shit like that. They should have been fired. This is also likely played out for dramatic effect here. We were trained to listen to cues that a person could not speak freely and try and get an address, weapons check, etc.

That said, being a dispatcher is the most stressful fucking job on the god damn planet and more power to anyone who can hack it without turning into a chain smoker, rage case, or alcoholic.
