I already work full time in a MWF clinic which I LOVE...it is HOME and these folks are my FAMILY....but I can't make it on 30-36 hrs a week so I've been floating to other clinics with the same company on Tuesdays for overtime and mileage and all the nice perks they give us when we float...but the 3 hrs one way to work a full 10 on my day off is killing me....when I called the float coordinator she told me to call an administrator in Macon (only 2 hrs away) - but I looked that particular center up online first....and I gotta tell ya, my nerves can NOT handle the noise of 31 machine alarms and two full shifts in those 31 chairs on what is supposed to be a SLOW day (TTS)....no other needs around except for this clinic in Atlanta...within the perimeter, and since they expanded into two shifts on TTS, what is supposed to be a 3 hr drive home has stretched into a 5 hr drive home due to traffic...Atlanta is notorious for that. I've already had to get a new car partly due to damage sustained after hitting a tractor-trailer tire on my way up (it was 3:15 am and Interstate 16 is PITCH black that time of morning) and having a piece of metal fly into my windshield on the way home that SAME DAY....
I'm just tired. And the more I think about having to continue to go to Atlanta the more tired I get. I can always get back on with the agency per diem, but those of you who have done that know how that goes....it's not exactly something you can count on and I need something I can count on that won't make me totally useless to my loved ones......I'm already so tired I've lost my checkbook, ATM card (twice), credit cardd, just always misplacing things.
Any suggestions? Otherwise, thanks for just letting me vent a little....
