i made it through my 72 hour work week, and will never do that again. its just stupid. the past two days ive just kind of flitted around uselessly, unsure of what to do with myself. i hear sirens going down notre dame and feel some weird unsettled state, like a pull to go back to work or a sense of perpetual unease or something. i dont know what to ( Read more... )

there actually isnt. im going to that confrence, but people are so desensitized to stuff, and we're all so exhausted after shifts that the follow up doesnt happen. i have a couple people i can talk to tho.

thanks leannie

Hey kid.
sounds like yes 72 hours is much of your problem. I feel burnt out frequently after 40. I find that much of my time in order to cope i need to simply focus on trying to make the time i have with people the best that i can and give them at least a short period of time that is safe and as functional as i can make it... while still remembering in the back of my head that their lives are fucked up and so i shouldn't take things personally, although that is much easier said than done when you get clocked or pissed on yelled at etc. It sounds like you are doing all the right things like being able to laugh at the ridiculous times, and have comraderie. just stop working so damn much. have a great trip i'll be in sk taking a break too. happy trails corine

yeah, plus if remembering things in the back of your head doesn't work recall that you have access to a little thing we in the biz like to call a narcotics key. If ya can't beat em join em I always say...your friend, 'talks the talk but can't walk the walk'

who am I kidding, really?
