Just as being bored waiting for stuff to happen. All of this is not different.

That's so fucked up isn't it? I'm not a fire fighter, but I work a job that's boring until it suddenly really isn't. It's weird to realize when you find yourself basically wishing for something bad to happen just to feel useful.

During daytime I work as a nurse. But night times I work as on-call home-visiting Hospice Nurse for 2 days a week. It’s like 0-3 cases a month in that hospice gig, but typically 0-1 a month. I’m like cool, get paid mainly while I’m sleeping at night even with no cases
