Burned....

Today was another 14 hour day. No lunch. Peed once in the morning. Felt like crying by 3pm as I knew by then I wasn't getting a break. I didn't even sit down to chart...i charted on the go. I feel like a slave. Now Im home with a terrible headache from not eating all day and I feel horrible. Only to get up in less than 8 hrs to do it all over. How much longer can my body take this abuse?

No, you DON'T call in sick, because then you're just sticking it to your co-workers who are overworked just like you.
