This is basically how my holiday season has been, on the scant one days off that I do get I usually lose them as some people call-in sick, or (my favorite) they actually forget to put someone into the schedule. I love my job, but it feels as though I have almost nothing to give during the days I come in.
I supposedly had nine days off, but I just got an email telling me I'll be coming in to cover someone starting Saturday. So I lost that as well. /sigh
This is for everyone who feels overworked and not given enough credit at their workplace.

12/27/2013 (Friday)- The Phone
cries like a child needing
attention.
I peek at the red-numbered
digital-clock
through
gummy yellowed eyes…
…4 in the f’king morning.
No sane person wakes another,
at such an ungodly hour.
No man would inflict this
on a hated brother,
an
annoying friend,
or
a beloved enemy.
I answer, ignoring caller id.
Not hearing the telltale sign
of
the assigned ringtone bell.
hello?
hello?
did I wake you?
nonono you didn’t, eye usually wake
at this time. (Liar Liar)
we need you to come in, someone called-in.

cursing at the silent phone.
putting
on dead grey-colored scrubs.
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho…
