Must be the weather - I do an EMD job Up North and had a fab (night) shift on Wednesday too: Lovely, grateful patients who actually needed us, none of my callers died, I didn't have to offer CPR for a cold and stiff patient , and it was quiet enough for me to finish my overdue library book between calls. Oh yes, and our Ops Manager brought in chocolate cake and squirty cream because it is her last night shift for a while. And now I'm on rest days until Tuesday yippee! Shame about your Control though - but I bet most of them are as nice to you as 'policy' allows...
