Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Work until you drop dead
Today, my ex shot me. Actually shot me. After I woke up from surgery, I told my manager I would obviously need sick leave. She told me she was shot in the army, and got over it because she’s "not a pussy", so she expects me back at work, recovering from a gunshot to the chest, by Tuesday. FML

Today, I was walking on the sidewalk near my house when a car pulled out of a parking spot in front of a speeding ambulance. The ambulance swerved up onto the grass. Yes, I broke my arm after being hit by an ambulance. FML

Today, I was walking to the bus for my first day at my new school. I tripped in the darkness and split my chin open and broke my arm. FML

The first day of the rest of your life (or not)
Today, it was my first day at my new job at a nursing home. Not only were we short staffed, two residents passed away, and I got beaten up by an old man. FML

The precious truck
Today, I got fired because, while responding to an emergency page for the volunteer fire department to help find a man in a field with a gunshot wound, I backed into a rock with the company truck that I drive to and from work. Nobody asked about the guy with the bullet inside him. He's OK now, in case anyone cares. FML

Today, being so desperate for money, I accepted a job in which I get shot at with paintballs for six hours. FML

Kids…
Today, I went to my new job at a pre-school. I was really excited because everything was going so well, and a little boy even said he was drawing a picture of me. He even gave it to me when he was finished. Well it was me, but I was also on fire and being stabbed and shot multiple times. FML

Today, I was so happy to be leaving the hospital after breaking my arm the night before. Just as I walked out of the doors, a huge ambulance team was running in at the same time, and knocked me down full force. I now have a broken ankle. FML

Unstable
Today, it was my first day out of hospital and being able to walk outside. I went to a shop and an old lady backed up into me and elbowed the exact stop on my back the pain starts from. I hit the floor like a ton of bricks and had to go back to hospital. FML

Maybe if you were a police officer this would be true...

OP, sorry you were indoctrinated by fire. The job does have its sucky moments. Unfortunately you had the suckiest of sucky moments. At least you can say its all good from here on. In my career as a medic, I've been shot at, stabbed, punched, kicked, scratched and spat on. It's an unfortunate risk of the job. Most times the circumstances are completely avoidable. Just try to be more aware of your environment in the future to avoid future risks. You will hear people telling you to find a different career. Don't do it! The job has its inherent risks, but it is a rewarding vocation in the end. 99.9% of the people you treat will be complete assholes. Hang in the for the 0.1% that makes it worthwhile. Remember, wounds heal and chicks dig scars.
