    @sufferlandrian It's good that they at least warn you. I know my dogs don't like going to the vet but they've never bitten her or even tried. They do try to hide from her, though. Tessa can get in some pretty tight spaces for a 70 pound dog. Sandi doesn't try as hard. But I think after falling out of the car she knows that vets are there to help and try not to hurt if they can help it.

    so fellow night shifters how do you break down your meals.
    I look at it as waking hours. So I nap before an overnight shift, get up at 9pm, don't eat til like 10 or 11pm, then again at 3-4am, and at 7-9am. i just log it as breakfast, lunch and diner and snacks if applicable. just shift the times

    @ween2414 I have mine set up for one, 24-hour period broken into six 4 hour increments.
    12AM-4AM
    4AM-8AM
    8AM-12PM
    12PM-4PM
    4PM-8PM
    8PM-12AM

    I log my food in the appropriate time blocks and I typically work out in the mornings after work.

    I use time frames.
    12a-6a
    6a-12p
    12p-6p
    6p-12a

    And a new tab im using is "supplements" since a pre-workout I tried recently has 5 calories and 1 carb per scoop and even daily vitamins sometimes have nutritional values.

    @MadDogManor and @sufferlandrian I only log that way NOW because one of you suggested it. So, thank you! It has made logging SO much easier for me. :smiley::drinker:

    Buuuuuusy night in the blood bank! I'm not nearly as tired as expected, our soccer game was at 1 PM yesterday so I slept 3 hours, went to soccer, then slept something like 3-4 more. I'm currently training for a half in July so I've been running when I wake up in the evening. When I get home I have to take my kids to school/daycare, then I go to bed, get up and make dinner, go workout

    I haven't logged in something like 4 days :( It was lab week and the break room was full of ice cream and chocolate and other various bad for you things. Thankfully it's almost all gone now!

    Welcome back. And no you cant have drunken women asking to be taken advantage of....then it would just be normal society. Besides, we didnt take him up on the offer so far. :wink:

    On a legit note......that rum and coke......or ya know if one of ya'll wants to send some crown, jack, so co, or even fire ball whiskey my way for one of my non-work and non-pager duty nights.....that would be stellar.

    @fatjon73 The only thing I don't particularly care for is your excessive use of ellipses(.....). Other than that you seem okay.

    Just had a BIG storm roll in and then back out. LOTS of alarms going off, power failure in some areas. I'm pretty sure we lost a couple of experiments in lab 4. :disappointed:

    I'm feeling job burnout! No matter how many days off I take, I am apathetic towards my work. I hate feeling this way

    @MadDogManor - I hear you! I have been battling that all week. I'm finally starting to come around. I had a couple of very good clients this weekend and that helps a lot. The eleven puppies didn't hurt. :smile: Well, it has been a long weekend shift and I'm going home. Catch you guys next time. :sleeping:

    It sucks, I'll agree as well. I have been feeling it, I don't want to even go to work anymore (and I have a lot more time to go!), and it makes for not a pleasant experience for everyone. I get extremely crankty once the first thing goes wrong, and I wasn't always like this, so I know it's part burnout. Other than switching jobs which ain't exactly easy, I'm working on finding a way to fix, and hope you do too.

    Thank goodness in my work, burnout can sometimes be resolved by success on a very difficult case. Unfortunately, those are kind of spread out these days.
