Jagged another overtime shift!

Nice and close too, just around the corner from home.

The previous night had seen a function called the 'Sleazy Ball' (name says it all) in central Sydney and I didn't do a single job related to it.

Tonight there has been a dance party on in the same location and one of our football codes is playing their Grand Final as well so you think that I would get some work from all of that?

Well we didn't!

That's not to say we didn't get a few good jobs,
An underage person attempting to get into the rear beer garden of an establishment by climbing over the three metre high fence that was topped with those fake arrow heads.
Fake or not they will penetrate if you slip, and they did, getting caught by the medial section of the distal upper arm.

Missed the Brachial Artery.
Missed the bone.
Missed the nerves and tendons.
Missed the Bicep.

A bloody great hole torn through the dermis and adipose tissue assisted by the fact the mates pulled them off the fence doing more damage.



Intoxicated elderly male from a middle European heritage who only spoke now in his native tongue.

The Police and ourselves tried and tried to help this gent.

We can't leave him on the streets in this condition and he doesn't need a hospital and repeatedly refused offers for one of us to take him home to safety.

There was an inner turmoil that would cause him to shout and raise him fists and shake them at nothing distinct, we didn't feel threatened at all but in the end for his own safety he was forcefully removed to a cell at the local to sober up.

They just never know how much we try to help them do they?

The man who hours earlier while cissed as a pricket decide that a Morton Bay Fig Tree would be a good climb however in a stunning surprise did know, because he was now soberish and hurting.

After having made his landing on Terra firma he told me that he decided to have a snooze under the tree and see if his ankle got better.

It didn't and we rescued him from the middle of a park with no paths or roads for easy access.

Not as lively a long weekend as I had thought, but I did my part to maintain minimal staff levels and after being single and doing the lions share of the driving it was nice to treat.

Be careful out there and I'll see you at the Big One.
