Heavy person lifting

Ha! That's funny.

It's something I've realized is probably my weakness. I really struggle watching my language/tone with the public. I've never gotten angry or yelled at anyone. But little comments like that.

One of my stations go to phrases is "that ain't good." After we caught a fire a couple years ago and one of our now retired guys who had a very very thick southern accent said it as he was falling through the floor. Thus we say it all the time now. Well we got a woman in full arrest and the medic starting IV looks at the monitor and says "I'm worried it's been so long she's brain dead." Now he said it quietly enough that only we hear him. I responded with "THAT AINT GOOD" loud enough for the Hawaiian islands to hear me and yea that, itself, ain't good.
