THE ART OF DEDUCTION.

Finishing work at odd hours allows me to enjoy experiences that I would have otherwise missed out on - please see below.

A nice young couple watches my dog (AKA the love of my life) sometimes, usually when I'm working an overnight shift in the emergency department. The other night, they were kind enough to allow me to pick him up at 430am, on my way home from work. Why was that amazing? Because instead of going home and struggling to stay awake watching Sham-Wow infomercials until I could go back and pick him up at 7am, I was able to grab that warm little monster and head straight to bed.

The following day, I sent them each a text to thank them for the good deed that they had done for me.
She responded with, "No need to thank me. Because he wasn't in bed with us, I got to cuddle Jeff* before work!"
He replied, "Please feel free to pick him up early ANY TIME on those overnight shifts."

So, yes, he definitely got it in. I take full credit.
