Working on-call overnight completely jacks with my sleep patterns.
It does not matter what time the phone rings. It doesn't matter how long I'm on the phone. It doesn't matter if I actually have to leave the house or not.
Ringing phone = Quadruple shot of expresso. Mainlined.
To wit:
Me: This is Reas
Other social worker: Hey Reas, it's Beth with Nowhereland Memorial. I'm looking for a bed for a 39-year-old female....
Me: Yeah, Beth. I'm going to stop you right there. We're completely full tonight.
Beth: OK. Thanks for calling back.
Me: Good luck.
So. That exchange took maybe 16 seconds. Tops.
I'm then up for the next two hours. ->
*5 bucks from iTunes if you're the first to guess which one is mine. Seriously. You'll just have to give up your address--I'll snail it. People who know my ring tone obviously don't count. You know who you are. Offer expires two weeks from posting.
