Been Waiting For You, Jinx

So I've been touting this past week and some days that I haven't been getting called out for any on-call work.  Well wouldn't you know it...I got called twice today.

First one in the morning for a fire.  Good thing we were all awake, Eamon just finished eating, and my in-laws were okay to babysit (Sharon went to go get new snowtires for the Camry).

Then when I was coming back from that call, I got called again.  This time it was a water quality issue.  I mean, yeah, it was in Peel...but it was all the way at the far reaches of Peel up in Caledon.  I actually used to inspect the site years ago I had to go all the way to (Peace Ranch).  The administrator even remembered me, as did the owner of the bakery I went to for a quick snack (weird thing to be flattered about).

All-in-all, 7.5 hrs of work and 150 kms driven.  Looks like Eamon will be getting a Christmas gift after all!

Hoping for a quiet day tomorrow.  But if I get called, that's double-time.  Okay, maybe one call wouldn't be bad?
