    Wow....you two sound like me. It's a constant thought process of how much sleep I am going to sacrifice for the things I need/want to do. Ugh...gotta love the night shift. Both of you be careful getting home/to the airport/etc when you get off...driving sleep deprived is some serious stuff.

    Dude, those are easy to fix - assuming that they are just clogged. Pop em out and soak in CLR...or just buy new ones...or die :|

    Starting my shift. 7.5 hrs to go. It's just 1 to 2 peeps on the night crew in a large 3 story building I work at. Hearing things go bump in the night can be a bit nerve-wracking, especially on the weekends when it's super quiet. Heard some pretty scary sounds earlier tonight. The Keurig coffee machine made some weird, dying-like noises. :open_mouth: It's still functioning...for now.

    or you can literally run CLR through the system, but I'm not sure whether that will ruin the lines in the long run

    Ok one of my traumatic brain injury patients was able to call a taxi to take him from Nebraska to Iowa. He gave the taxi driver the address from my business card. And.... guess what came to the hospital to pick up my patient... LOL Not a happy cab driver that's for sure. Gotta love the night shift on the TBI unit!

    My last job was like that. We had 6 floors with only 2 of us working. There were times when I ran down the hallway to get to the next lit area because I was so freaked out. There had been reports of mental health clients being in the building for who knows what reason after hours.
