Life and times of an amazing 911 Dispatcher.

i know that you believe you understand what you think i said, but i'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what i meant.

The title says it all. Here in about 2 hours I'll be at work attempting to use that anecdote to explain something to someone having an apparent emergency situation. Now, emergency. by definition, is something that causes alarm to someone, in their own way. That being said, You having Chest pain may be of way more concern to you than having your car towed, but for that person having their car towed would be just about the worst thing that could happen to them if that person had never had anything worse than that happen to them. That is why life experience is the most important thing and I thank the higher power every day that my parents let me have those little life experiences so that when I had my car towed for the first time I didn't call 911 and demand them to bring it back to me, like I experience so many times a weekend while working at the ECC answering phones.
