Tired....*warning*-work vent

masked_rose86

I work 11 hour shifts....except weekends are "normal" 8 hour shifts.  The long shifts are killer and I do at least 3 a week...  These shifts are mostly on my feet all day, and I don't get any breaks except lulls during the workday when I can sit.  Each day is unpredictable.

My company has lots of open shifts, I am constantly pressured to pick up shifts.  But I'm SO tired on my few days off midweek and I really need the weekends I get off to recoup.....I hate feeling like I need to work more when I am already so tired and sore from working.

I wonder if I should get a note from my OB that says I can't work overtime....haha.  At least I wouldn't feel *as* guilty saying "No" when I'm asked...

Get the note - or better yet, just shed the guilt and say no.

I would absolutely get a note if I was you.  I got a note to stop traveling pretty early on because it was so incredibly exhausting while pregnant.  You need to put you and the babies first.

Sorry, but I think you must work with @ssholes if they're asking someone pg with twins to work extra shifts.  Get the note and maybe they'll leave you alone.

Here's another vote to get the note.  My doctor was more than happy to write a note saying I can't coach soccer this fall. (I'm a teacher).  I wanted to avoid it out of laziness/ tiredness more than anything, but when he found out I was supposed to coach, he said that this was NOT the year to be doing that.  I bet your doc would be more than happy to write the same thing.
