Im on my break on a night shift

Im writing this on my break on a night shift, im quite bored, but if you want to know what its like read on...

Its not all that bad. In a strange way, nite shifts can put life back on the "normal" routine as you have to rest - all you can do is work and rest instead of the normal work - socialise - TV - internet - rest - cycle that kinda wears you out. I also have a long endurance for being functional when awake (about 36 hrs) - but im sure that my life will be shorter as a result of the extra stress and proven link to increased risk of cancer in shift workers. I occasionally drink large volumes of fruit juice to raise my vitamin levels to fight off any unhealthiness but its purely imaginary that I will be any healthier.

Tonight was interesting, challenging patient, very sick ("sick" in our world means about to die), had to pull the emergency buzzer for the first time (well i didnt pull it, someone else did). Outcome was good though, the patient survived. Yay.


Thats all for now...

My heart it burns, for You

For You

So deep, so mysterious,
So funny, so serious,
So beautiful, so clear,
So fine, not a smear,
So real, so true,
My heart it burns,
For you.







Thats all for now...
