7 Perks of Being at Work for 21 Hours Straight

1.  It makes a 12 hour day feel almost like a day off.
2.  You learn that some disorder is self-limiting. Clean laundry piles (that haven't been put away) actually begin to disappear, since you are forced to take clothes off the pile.
3.  You're not burdened with the forecast.  You just completely missed that day's weather.  Who cares if it rained or didn't rain?
4.  You get a long nap, instead of a short night.
5.  You don't miss much of what went on while you weren't at work, because it was only a few hours.
6.  Meals lose their identity.  Breakfast could be leftover pizza or hard-boiled eggs or a sugar cookie.  (Are you sensing that my diet did not get reformed this week?)
7.  As Dr. Dickson announced late last night after a challenging seven hour surgery, "Who wants to be in bed at this time of the night anyway?"  

*Don't forget to vote for my story about Dr. Halloran a few more times before the contest is over!  Voting ends this Wednesday, September 24.*
