Most painful problem day to day

[reidsteven75]

In the name of trying to make firefighting more fun and enjoyable what is the most painful problem you face on a day to day basis? The thing you wake up and say I really don't want to do "x". Maybe someone else has a solution...in any case I'm interested to see if there's common problems.

Cheers,

Steve

First of all.. firefighting is a profession.... people do not become firefighters for "fun and enjoyment", they do it because they have a calling. If you are in it for "fun and enjoyment and the T shirt.. get the @#$! out.

What really grinds my gears is as follows:

* Incompetence
* Firefighters who whine and complainabout the job but won't do anything to improve it
* Officers that like the title but don't want the responsibilites that come with it
* Chiefs who forgot where they come from

* Mutt politicians who love to come out and praise you for the photo op, yet cut your gonads off when it comes to funding the FD

* The "cowards corner" aka opinion/comments section on newspaper websites.
