I need to buy a lottery ticket

I was working an engine house that is usually fairly slow. It had been a full day of yard work and the like, so we turned in early. We were up within a half hour chasing a car wreck that didn't exist. We went back to bed when we returned to station, and it took a few minutes for us to go back to sleep. As we were all settling down into our beds. I asked the senior crew member if we were done for the night, and he said "yeah I think so" as he climbed into his bunk. I replied "Oh I don't know, I seem to be the queen of weird stuff. Not necessarily bad calls, just weird stuff". At 2:30 that morning I was eating my words as we went to the scene of a motorcycle versus deer on a residential street. The motorcycle won, and the deer got a broken neck in the process.

The next shift we went to training. There was limited parking, and I arrived in my engine just behind the new ladder truck. I asked my partner if we should ask the ladder guys to let us park behind them in case they caught a call during training. "Nah" he said, "we won't be here that long". No sooner had we parked in front of the ladder and walked into the station than three beeps silenced everyone in the building. A fire. On the south end. I'll go move the engine so the ladder can get out.

My "weird calls" streak continued for several shifts, but that may be another post.
