What's your favorite "Done with a ton of shifts in a row" routine?

What is your "woo hoo, I'm off work" transition routine? Mine is to sing to the radio on the way home like a maniac, hop on the treadmill for awhile, clean up, and go out somewhere fun with friends/hubby/both. We love to have weekend sangria parties with a seafood boil around this time of year too, just a few friends being relaxed and having fun! What's yours?

:yeah:I use to have a friend that got off around 11am,would head right to the beach and sleep,setting her alarm to flip every hour and reapply sunscreen. That was until her watch alarm failed her one day and she looked like a Pittsburgh style steak!!! Light on the front and VERY well done on the back,lol,poor thing.:imbar

Specializes in OR.

Spend the only day off I have which is SUNDAY with my DH and veg and eat . I work a crappy schedule 4 hour shifts six days a week and 2 days with double shifts. So when I have time off I use it to catch up with all the talk and gossip and plan for next week!!!

Specializes in ER/Trauma.

In no particular order:

* Sleep

* Clean my gun(s). Head out to the range. Shoot targets - with friends (if we can all manage to get time off).

* Read a good book (one of the hundreds I have on my "to read" list!)

* Watch old movies (partial to James Stewart/Clint Eastwood/Paul Newman movies)

* Go for a swim (at the pool)

* Visit my sis-in-law. See/play-with/spoil my little nieces (rotten!) :D Eat great 'home cooked' food while I'm at it.

* Go out with friends for a night out on town - usually includes some kind of 'live music'.

* If in season, go to a hockey game! [GOOOOOOOO SABRES!!!]

I think that covers it ;)
