The conversation with coworkers each night starts with "I got x amount of sleep today..."
You can only recognize a resident with no glasses, no teeth and in their jammies!
I've done this too many times! Resident up and dressed early to have out patient surgery and I'm staring at them wondering who the heck they are and how they got on the locked unit... It was one of my residents.
When saying goodbye to your coworkers the conversation goes, "I'll see you tomarrow, wait no, that's tonight!"
You roll up to Jack in the Box at 6:30 PM and ask for a breakfast jack and coffee.
OHOH! I almost forgot this one: I rolled through 3 consecutive stop signs on my way to get lunch at Jack in the Box, and the only lights around were WAY behind me, they turned out to be a police officer. He stopped me and asked me if I saw them, AND if I knew what they ment. And my only answer was: I only have 30 min for lunch!! (they only warned me, lol.)
When you hiss at the sunlight and dorn sunglasses for driving home!
You have a system of complex wires for your phone/computer/answering machine so it doesn't ring or sound during the day!
You use blankets on your windows!
You kids refer to you as the Vampire!
You refer to your bedroom as the cave!
You threaten life and limb to anyone that messes with your eye cover or ear plugs!
You actually drink DECAF coffee in the AM!
Have illicited to the government to make the area around your house a NO FLY ZONE during the day!
You have a grant saved up for your neighbors to debark their dogs!!!
"Afternoon Delight" was your wedding song!
and finally...you contemplate or even suggested jammie day to work to save you clothes changing times to bed!
