Why not both?

What would you say was the biggest turning point in your career, as in what made you the fluffy we all know and love today?

PS.. Can't give you a cake in person but, here's a cake I found on some random ASCII site...

         __.......__
    ,-"``           ``"-.
    |;------.-'      _.-'\
    ||______|`  ' ' `    |
    ||------|            |
   _;|______|            |_
 (```"""""""|            |``)
 \'._       '-.........-'_.'/
  '._`""===........===""`_.'
     ``"""=========="""`` jgs

Thanks for all the laughs you have given me and my friends!

Not trying hi-jack his answer, but don't park your car where the engine needs to go. If you need to close an area down, make sure there is someone that can move the car when the truck arrives.

I was a volunteer for several years and occasionally had to work with paid departments. I've always wondered what paid members think of volunteers. So my question is:

Do you ever mutual aid with any volunteer departments and what is your take on them?

I've seen two types of volunteer departments. I was a volunteer at a more "professional" department. We followed strict training guidelines and polices. Whereas, some of the other neighboring departments were more of the "Good ol' boys" style.
