Day Off

Just need to vent.

It's my day off.

Don't get me wrong I love my job, my choosen occupation, co-workers, residents, but most of us need and value our time off, away from the job, the call bells, the complaints, the stress.

One of the reasons it pays to have caller ID and an answering machine.

The telephone rings. It's my work. The reason for the call isn't an urgent matter, it is something that can wait until I'm on duty tomorrow.

Did I pick up the phone? Nope. Will I call back today? Nope.

Funny how you're expected to be available anytime. But the door doesn't open both ways. Can't begin to count the number of times I've left messages on voice mail at work when I'm on duty and never get a response.

Oh well. Just one of those days when something is more irritating then at other times.

Thanks for listening.
