You work 3 days a week? MUST BE NICE!

I can not tell you how many times I get this response when I tell people that I work full time 3 days a week. They always say something like, wow, that's it? THAT's full time? What do you do with all your time off?

What people refuse to understand is that we work for 13-14 hours straight, walk around most of the time, usually stressed out, and then after our shift is completed we have to slip into a deep coma to recover.

i love my 12 hour shifts. i've been doing them since 1983!

however, there are the 4 hour shifts of staff meetings, classes i must attend and classes i teach -- really interferes with my time off!

i really don't mind the 12 hour part of the job, i just really would like to work the same days every week. i'd even be willing to work every weekend (at least every saturday) in order to do it. but my scheduler could never manage to work it out for me.
