Adapt and Overcome

101.5 hours and counting. People at work knew I didn't have power. The mismatched scrubs and Pippi braids gave it away. Not to mention that I wasn't actually on the schedule (whoops) and I begged to stay. (I think it came across as "please don't make me go home to that hot dark house!)

So I got home, crashed and prayed for power and tried to sleep. Woke up in the hot dim afternoon. So tonight I've said FUCK IT and taken up residence in the Holiday Inn Express. Will indulge in several hot baths, ice cold drinks, comfy, cool bed and pray to the power gods for better luck tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
It's really a pain to work during a shift. Some people are left with no choice to use the drug to stay awake.
