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.

i don't go in on my days off either.. they stopped calling me .. i am still stressed from the day before... ugh..

I especially love it when you make it a point to see someone when you are there at work, and they are no where to be found during business hours!

I so relate. Honestly, I don't even listen to the messages anymore because every weekday off, it's the same story. They're looking for coverage. Sorry. Delete.

we just went live with a new med dispense system... and I got suckered into being there for support. (even though I got the same training everyone else had) when I left, I had a call waiting when I got home, and three more calls within the hour! give them an inch......

Amen to that (give them an inch...). The more you do, the more they take and your still expected to get in all done within the time constraints.
