And we have a holiday Wednesday, and I have my wisdom teeth out Thursday and am strictly enjoined against working that day, and a couple of my coworkers are telling me I should definitely "react badly" to the sedation and take Friday off like I told my manager I might have to do depending on how badly I react to the sedation...

(and, like, ethics are a thing? including work ethic? but it is oh so tempting.)

I should point out that I have no problem with working overtime. I like money. It's just working overtime most weekdays and most Saturdays, and with no option to ditch the Saturdays early if I run out of cope or have somewhere to be (which I can do on voluntary overtime Saturdays, because voluntary), that has been getting to me. Overtime's been mandatory at least two Saturdays in three since July.
