Underrated Benefit of WFH: Making Lunch

Just got done eating a tasty breakfast burrito for lunch on the patio. So much better than a cold sandwich in a windowless break room or going out for $15

Over 5 hours recovered in travel time. But my employer gets that now in work. And I'd rather do that than go into the office.

Another benefit often overlooked is the ability to not just work from home, you can work in different cafe, different city or country, technical means longer holiday. When I book holiday to go abroad etc UK to Cape Town to see family there I can book for longer can take time off for 2 weeks but have a holiday abroad for a month longer than I could of office based. Sandwich leave days 1st week off enjoy weather etc settle in , then 2wks wind down relaxing working in great location for etc then have
Final week off getting ready to fly back.
Non of this would have been possible priceless

I can work from anywhere (home or office , don’t mind either) but I enjoy catching a healthy meal in the cafeteria during the week. It makes up for my bad food choices on the weekends.

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore? For us being in charge is having full assignment 3p-7p & being responsible for assigning pts , communicating w/ supervisor about various issues, making the assignment for next shift, and a mini report about each pt for the next charge. On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.
