Re: not coping

wow @outlander that certainly is a busy time, especially with night shift. Can you sleep at your job once the residents are asleep?

I hope you get at least some rest in amongst the chaos.

Re: not coping

Shame that it is an active night @outlander Hopefully it goes fast for you.

Please remember that you need to rest to hon. I know you are trying to save money but you have to look after yourself too.

How are your pain levels today?

Re: not coping

I can understand the want to work @outlander and the need to also.

Just make sure you get some down time also.
