What are you proud of this year? I don’t wanna hear i ran 3 marathons.

I want to hear the crazy awards stuff like…I drove the same road 438 times and exclusively listened to Fleetwood Mac.

Common share your special skill or unique achievement this year.

Rescued a whimpering puppy from a metre depth, straight down in a narrow drainpipe.

When we got the callout for an animal rescue, I had forgot that the cat-in-a-tree type incidents are stereotypical for firefighters.

Was a unique achievement for me.

It was a bit tense on arrival, but had a happy ending. This was a week ago.

Aww this is amazing! Did you end up keeping the puppy?

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I did not. The puppy had a home already.
