You Can't Run A Hose In Skinny Jeans So I'm training to be a fire fighter! It's awesome, as far as I'm concerned it is a definite career path for me. I've always preferred a more hands on approach when it comes to working, rather than work in a paper shop I worked at a paintball site. Now please don't mistake me for a Tomboy or a rugged female, I'm just as obsessed with designer shoes and handbags as the next girl, and am highly disappointed I will no longer be able to have perfectly manicured nails! I will however be able to care for and protect the local community! Reward enough I believe! So, doing some training today at the station, not really thought about my attire, due to the fact I normally watch and learn and have never been asked to partake in activities! One of the training Firefighters offered to show myself and another new guy how to run a hose... Sounds simple enough! They're quite heavy, these hoses, which is fine I've been weight training, they also have to be rolled out in a certain way, due to the health and safety nation we live in. Fine. Except I'm in skinny jeans... Not cool! I have little movement in these jeans and crouching down and then running like a crab, does not happen! I looked like a fool and will now think twice about my clothes before attending the station, especially as I may have split said skinny jeans, in a rather unconventional place. Lesson learnt!
