And what’s your routine like?
I’m the kind of worker who prioritizes life over work. So that means I care about having light schedules if I know when it’s suitable and if my expenses can still be met which currently, I’m in the hole on that. If I can get away with using as much PPTO/PTO/Sick days as possible, I’ll do it. If I can afford to take points while balancing my expenses, I’ll do that too and have done that.
I typically work nights and I like working nights in nearly all of the jobs I’ve been in when available. I can’t stand morning and day shifts because it takes me a little longer to get warmed up during the morning and day. I actually used to have burned through mornings by sleeping through them.
But on my off days I do try to make up for some sleep at nights.
I like my job, I like my patients, I do my job, but sometimes when a patient is ranting in my ear about the same confabulated complaints they call with every week, am I playing a video game on my phone and not listening? Yes. But I do a good job.
