Work :- Stressful or not, discuss
Over the last few weeks it has come to me that at work we are dealing with a greater number of real jobs less D&I, hoax and other such interesting calls.
As a result the station has been louder with more banter and humour. Any outsider would look at this as being, sick or depraved but in our world (emergency work, not where the sky is green and animals talk) it seems to be the best way to deal. We all subconsciously ignore stress and the reality of what we do.
Please don't misunderstand me, we know what we do and how important it can be, but the jokes, the merriment and the sick sense of humour allows us to go and keep on with what we do.
After a really bad job we can talk about it to our crew, they were there, they saw, they helped, they probably want to talk, but for the rest. The station will hear they will recognise, they will help.
For any of you who are not already bored with the subject, I found the study into humour for emergency personnel (someone was obviously very interested)
Or you could just be happy with the fact that it works and carry on with the idea
that I try and work with
Stress don't be a sufferer be a carrier

Since the 31st of May 2004 I couldn't tell you how to spell stress! I think that the way in which we deal with situations is quite normal for anyone who is front line, this goes for the Control staff as well (well the older ones). You are right, a lot of "Outsiders" would think us to be warped and twisted but we are not, we are just human and getting on with at times a bloody awful job in a professional manner so we need to release some steam when back on standby / station.
