This reader is just catching up with me and NOT liking what he's reading!
And, no my husband isn't a firefighter. And NO the city doesn't pay for gym memberships and groceries for firefighters. But they do have to get food and workout on a daily basis (they're evaluated on their fitness, by the way) and that means you might see them GASP! at the grocery store!

Wow... Why do people think that the City pays for our gym membership? I joined because I want to stay alive, and do my job, and after I've done my 30 years, to not drop dead like so many of us.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for the city buying our food? Oh... thats really funny! Since we as the fire dept. don't bring any money to the City, they in turn give us as little as possible. We take care of each other, because WE, are the only ones we can count on.
If you don't feel your getting your moneys worth. Come along for a ride with us one day. And if you listen to us, and do what we say, you'll stay alive and not have too many nightmares.
And one last thing. The 3%@50. don't worry too much about that. It's a fact. We die younger than you.So you as a fellow taxpayer, dont have to foot the bill for long. Here. Good reading.

Sleep well, your City firefighters and police are looking out for you.
