Stories of a 9-1-1 dispatcher.

Dispatcher: 9-1-1 what is your emergency?

Caller (Elderly Lady): Yes, I'm over here at the (talking to someone else: what is this place again?), surgery waiting area and I'm supposed to have an ultrasound done, and I need to know where to go from here.

Dispatcher: I don't know ma'am, this is 9-1-1 and emergency line.

Caller: Well this is an emergency I need to know where to go.

Dispatcher: (Noticing the lady is calling from Moffitt hosiptal phone number), is there a staff member there with you?

Caller: Well he walked away, but there is a lady right here beside me, I guess she'll talk to you.

Dispatcher: Ok

Staff Member: Hello?

Dispatcher: Yes, this is 9-1-1 emergency and.....

Staff Member Interupts: Oh, I'm sorry she must have dialed the wrong number.  (Hangs up)

Another hobby of mine!


As you can see I'm a huge fan of Lego.  I can't wait for LegoLand to open in October 2011 in the old Cypress Gardens park here in Florida.  I am contemplating season passes to the park as well.  The houses you see in this photo are able to be built into two other style homes.  The T-Rex in the middle can also be built into an alligator or a pirahna. 

If you look closely you can see Lego Capt. Jack Sparrow on the tan house just above the blue and white awning.  I got him when I ordered the Lego Pirates of the Caribbean video game.  I have the SpongeBob characters jumping in the swimming pool in the front to escape the T-Rex and the cop car driving away as fast as he can because that is not part of his job.  He will later notify animal control!  Meanwhile, the robbers in the front yard are dropping their loot and making a run for it.  The K-9 unit is also headed into the house to cower in the corner. 

When I build the three into something different, I will re-post with another picture.
