    Our hospital is like 6 city blocks too...its like a 350 bed hospital in DDuluth mn. But I don't do it anymore....I got sick of having to babysit all the crazies in the ER all the time.

    I miss all that stuff, been dispatcing full time for the last 18 months. On a positive note I haven't been bitten or spat on in the last 18 months.

    I wanted to move up to dispatching but there weren't any openings....I always worked overnights so the majority of the time, the idiots were sleeping....after we shot them up with a little bit of vitamin H....god i love haldol....that stuff works like a charm!!

    have just taken over this crew, they were made up of an other crews, and they lost there way a lot, management gave me this crew to help workout any issues they have, so its been hard work for me, but the team had worked through it together and i believe we are the number 1 team for the company..lol

    but i will always say that.

    I work 3rd's in a factory. Enjoying my night off this week chatting on Skype and watching Netflix. Also making venison jerky at the moment and a batch of cookies before bed :D Love being awake for meteor showers!

    That sounds like an awesome night! I do overnights in a call center, tech support for Google.

    I do 4 pm - 5 am eastern in a call center as tech support....

    I am working my 3rd (12 hour shift) of 7 and honestly I'm not sure I can stand another cup of coffee at this point. I work in dispatch for a marine surveying company.

    I won't be. Only because this year it falls on my weekend off. Mon/Tues. If it didn't I would be.

    Yeah, I'm currently working my on-call week and someone called in sick so I am covering for them. Luckily, this is not a normal occurence. I haven't worked 7 12's in a few years and not sure I could manage it on a regular basis anymore.
