OT: Thanks, Work, for wasting my day

danieleandwaynedanieleandwayne member
in TTC after 35

They put me on 2nd On Call (meaning there was another nurse they'd call before me) and then never took me off.

I had the chance to earn $150 at a summer camp today (I worked there last year), but I couldn't go because I had to stay local and be available for work at the hospital. 

So not only did I not get paid for working at the hospital (I only got like $20 for being on call), but I couldn't even make any money on the side at the camp. To add insult to injury, I couldn't even start any major house project or cooking/baking because I didn't want to get called in to work in the middle.

WTH?!? It was my least favourite/totally incompetent supervisor on today, so there was nothing I could do about it, but seriously so frustrating!!! And then they wonder why I said that signing up for gaps/on call is not a replacement for a 2nd per diem job...

    Boo!  I hate wasted time.  I have worked like 14 straight days so I can barely keep my eyes open, if that makes you feel better?!

    Why would anyone make you do that?!? Are you the only game in town?

    What do you do-- so I can never do it? LOL 14 days in a row would kill me.

    Because the docs don't know how to use the devices?!? That's scary...

    It's not that they dont know how to use the devices, but it is often a different tech in every case.

    That would drive me crazy.  How awful that you couldn't start anything either!

    It's still a little unnerving that a salesperson would have to be there-- that's what techs are supposed to know!

    Did you have to get a medical degree to do your job? 14 days straight is worse than a doctor's schedule!
