I’m sorry... I’ve read the poster’s work before and thought it witty and incisive.

I suppose upon reading this one I found the constant grim, witty, black humor a little tiresome, sort of like cop humor. We all know how stressful ER work can be, we’ve been treated to it on television for decades. I almost had the sense that the poster was trying to write a new ER drama, or perhaps a treatment for the existing one(s).

Further, I too used to work the midnight shift and found daytime solicitors annoying. However, I’ve found a solution — I don’t open the door to ANYONE unless I’m expecting them. Nor do I answer the phone unless I’m expecting a call. I found the gentleman’s fury, and subsequent browbeating and guilt tripping of the unfortunate solicitor to leave me quite unmoved as to the gravity of his plight. Apparently she didn’t know who she was waking. Generally the solution to having one’s sleep interrupted is simple. Go back to bed.

ichabod, thanks for your reply and your perspective. As you can understand, I wouldn’t have known all that just from the “Whatever” reply.

Thanks.
