I transfered from group 32 in San Diego to 24FC. I wanted to move to NYC for a little while and the easiest thing to do was to transfer with the company so I could have a job still. I had NO intentions of staying with the company for more than a couple of months, but it was a way to guarantee a job to start off in NYC.

Well, I changed my start date at 24FC in Brooklyn about 3 times, pushing it back further and further because I really didnt want to go back to ERAC after 3 weeks off. Eventually I gave in, I woke up at 5:30am to get a train to ERAC, I was the 2nd one there after my assistant. After 5 hours of driving in Brooklyn (which I have never done up to that point) and dealing with really shady and bitchy customers I went to lunch.

Lunch last 1hr 1/2 for me since I went into the bathroom of the local McDonalds, looked myself in the mirror and finally said "fuck this". I went back to the office with the tie off and the sleeves rolled up, wrote an Email to the area manager saying "here is my 2 weeks, well I guess you can say 2 weeks, but in reality I wont be coming in tomorrow". The manager (I forget his name) asked what was up since I took a long lunch and I came back looking like I was ready for happy hour. I went into his office, said thanks for the 5 hours and good luck with ERAC, and then just walked out the door and went home.

I had about $4k in the bank to hold me over since I was staying with friends and tossing them a few hundered for the few weeks I was on the couch. Got a new job and am not making millions but at least I am not at ERAC.

Needless to say my Area Manager back in San Diego was PISSED. This is due to the fact that he sent me to NYC/Brooklyn with him putting in good words and such. I pushed the start date back by 2 weeks and then I quit 5 hours in on my first day at the office. It fucked his retention since it was before the "90 day" rule with transfers and best of all it made him look terrible in the eyes of the NYC ERAC.

But whatever, screw that asshole.

FDNY EMT from Hawthorne indicted in Greenburgh hit & run death

The Journal News • August 28, 2008

WHITE PLAINS - A Hawthorne man charged with the hit-and-run death of an Elmsford father told Greenburgh police that he believed he hit a pothole that night, authorities say.

The driver, Scott Desimone, an emergency medical technician with the New York City Fire Department, pleaded not guilty in state Supreme Court in White Plains today in the death of Manuel Guaman Saca, 51.

Saca, a father of five, was walking to his job at a newspaper distribution center off Hunter Lane, family members said. Desimone, 35, is accused of hitting Saca with a rental car in the early hours of March 1 along Saw Mill River Road in Greenburgh.

He was indicted on felony charges of leaving the scene of a fatal accident and falsifying business records, and a misdemeanor charge of insurance fraud.

Police said he lied to Enterprise Rent-a-Car and to his insurance company about the damage to his rental car, a 2008 Mazda Tribute.

According to court papers handed up at the indictment, Desimone told police he had two drinks at Pete's Saloon in Elmsford the night of Feb. 29 - hours before Saca was killed.

"When asked if he hit anything on his way home, he stated that he remembers hitting what he thought to be a pot hole on Saw Mill River Road," the papers said.

He told Greenburgh detectives that being an EMT was all that he lived for and, at one point, they said, he excused himself and sat in the back corner of the interview room and started to cry. Desimone told them he took a lot of medication for headaches and pain, according to the court papers.

Police identified Desimone as a suspect early on after investigators found part of a 2008 Mazda Tribute fender at the scene and later discovered the car at an auto body shop about a mile south of where Saca was killed.

Police waited more than three months for forensic test results to solidify their case.

Desimone is the son of Larry Desimone, Greenburgh's town fire marshal. His ex-wife, Dina Desimone, is a Greenburgh police officer.

He is free on $7,500 bail.
