I worked for years for a state employer that never closed, no matter how bad it was. After a brief interlude I went back to school to follow an old dream... got an RN and started at a hospital. Heavy snows meant 16÷ hour shifts because other staff couldn't make it in. I never missed a shift but there were times I slept at the hospital because I couldn't make it home or was strongly requested to stay in case they were short staffed. My age, sex and lack of seniority made me the most likely to work the extra hours. I'll stay home with my PJs, hot chocolate and emergency generator when I retire.
