Mind Games

Dear O'H dear and Lovely Tea Jenny,

Work is quite busy at the moment. I felt shattered when I went to bed but I was on-call and the on-call demons came out to play. You know, the evil tw@ts that whisper in your ear in the middle of the night that there’s a missed call and it wakes you up in a panic.

Despite KNOWING the ringer is on and set to max volume because I checked it (twice), the nagging doubt is too loud to ignore. It’s amazing how an empty phone screen illuminates the whole room in the middle of the night.

I might have to do a banishing spell.

PS On-call conjures up exciting images of medical types in hospital dramas. “I restarted a job after a timeout,” really wouldn’t make good tv.
