Owl

I'm working an overnight shift this week -- 10 pm to 8 am. It confuses my brain and takes extra effort to figure out what day it is and whether it's morning or evening. Since I have often driven to school in the dark in the morning, my brain has a hard time realizing that it is actually night on my way to work this week. It is surprised to hear night programs on the radio instead of the typical morning programs.

I went to work yesterday expecting a fairly laid back evening. It wasn't to be -- one patient was intent on trying to crash and I spent a large portion of the night setting up new constant rate infusions and talking to the clinician. Great experience, it really was.
