I think I'm getting back on my tracks
Added 2022-08-02 22:53:52 +0000 UTCI've had only hellish-tier days since I got hired at the hospital. I discovered they hired me that quickly because they are VERY short on staff. Like, dangerously short. I started working on Friday, and three days later (Monday), they were already assigning me 17 psychiatric patients to take care of on my own, and the next day they marked me as able to take 12-hour shifts like the veterans. Usually, you would only trust this much responsibility to someone after a week or two of training, but they don't have the time for that. I asked some coworkers how they got to this point, and they say many colleagues are getting long-term sick leave at the same time to treat various kinds of health problems, and there is no one left to cover for them. Sick leaves became common during Covid-19 outbreaks, but they don't know how to explain this many people taking emergency surgeries and needing to treat non-covid-related problems at the same time now that the virus is under control in our city.
Today I got my first "fully" day off, and after 12 hours of sleep and treating my headaches, I started to work on a mini-action cutscene for an investigative portion of the game. I'm still getting used to my new routine of waking up at 4 a.m. and coming back home at 3 p.m. (when I'm not taking that dreadful 12-hour shift), and I expect to recover my productivity for the project in the next few days, as I feel less and less drained when getting home.
