    2 1/2 hours till I'm out of here. I'm so over this week already. What was I thinking signing up for 3 extra shifts in one week? Ugh!

    At least you get the option of signing up for extra shifts (presumably). We get told, usually right at the end of shift that we're doing a double.

    Overtime sucks in general though, whether you volunteer or get ordered.

    Because we're a 24 hour operation center we can be told that we're needed to stay for another shift but luckily that doesn't happen too often. except during really bad weather events.

    I just forgot I had already signed up for the second day when I signed up for the 1st and last.

    Correct me if I'm wrongm but I think she means her place of work is open 24 hours a day. This means if someone calls out sick, they have to cover it with someone from the previous shift. We're the same way. Good money, but the overtime can get to you.

    I think some fire departments DO work 24 hour shifts, but can sleep when not on a call.

    I wish we still worked 4 ten hour days here, but it made it even harder to cover shifts when people called out so they went back to eight hour shifts.
