Work, work, work

Sounds like it's all I do, but as it turns out it's not what I do. Having gone to a relief position (required to work 24 hours in 2 weeks), I am one of the first people to be cancelled when we're overstaffed. Highly irritating since our manager had taken to overstaffing the unit and our census/acuity has been low which means we don't need as many nurses. Last night staffing mistakenly cancelled me for the entire night when it should have just been for the first 4 hours of my shift. Since they had to call me back, I ended up getting time and a half (part of our contract) which means I got paid for the entire shift anyway. Woo hoo! Tonight I got cancelled for the first 4 hours again, and probably should have been cancelled for the entire shift, but they made a mistake which was again to my benefit. So yeah, I can pay my rent and bills for another month.
