A Chance to Rest at Work

Being that I'm on night shifts, these can sometimes have a considerable amount of downtime - which can be broken at any moment. The past several nights have been quite calm. Between midnight and the end of my shift (7 am) I might get 1 or 2 calls, and no consults (there was one consult which was requested at 6:55 a.m., and I passed it on to the next team, who was coming in 5 minutes... seriously, why call for a consult 5 minutes before the end of a shift when the next team can take over? Most medicine consults can wait 5 minutes lol!).

So, rambling asides aside (<-- fun grammar there), I managed to get some snooze time in a few times, each 3+ hours. Tonight's felt quite deep and I was able to wake up feeling rather sharp, which is not something I feel very often these days.

Hopefully I'll have more nights like this so that I'll be coming into my vacation time feeling a bit more fresh - albeit, I'll still be transitioning from a night schedule to a day schedule.

Looking forward to this genuine time off from work. Let the burnout melt away.

I sincerely do appreciate that, brother. There are no plans to stop helping others - it might just be in a different set of ways than I had originally envisioned. We'll see what will happen in the future!

Your presence is also a blessing to those who get to know you. Keep it up, man. You're a diamond.

Actually I'm having massive problems finding housing. I got a call from across the river with the native American community and they are looking to help me out as well. There is two different criteria one is need as well as the second is time that you've been waiting...

You've got good news and it looks like I've got a job I'm waiting to the end of business today or tomorrow to find out when I begin training. So here is to hoping. I'm going to have to go get work boots so that's definitely going to be a bit of a cost.
