Work Chaos (again)
Work seems to occupying much of my thoughts lately. And they aren't happy thoughts. Since I don't have anyone to complain to verbally, I shall expose my whining to the world yet again.
Yesterday I mentioned (MENTIONED) that I would like to work days. Background is, I have been working overnights on the weekend for nearly two years. I don't like working overnights - I am one of those people, that if they don't get enough sunlight, they turn into grouchy hermits who hide under the covers and eat ice cream. Anyway, apparently this has thrown the newest doctors (hired 8 months ago) into a tizzy. On No! What Shall They Do? They will have to start working overnights, TOO! Say it isn't so!
Now, I have seniority over all the doctors except one. If I don't want to work the worst shift available anymore, then they can just suck it up. They knew the schedule when they were hired on. A wail of oh, woe is us, is arising from the other staff. It makes me angry. It pretty much has been a sacrifice for me to do the overnights as long as I have, but nobody seems to acknowledge that or thank me for it. I was even denied a raise essentially because I worked only overnights. When traditionally, that is the higher paid position. Because, face it, who really would WANT to work that? Especially as I worked the weekend!
I swear I used to love my job. But now all it does is make me angry.
