The challenges of emergency calls

I have worked shift work for a majority of my working life.  I have spent a majority of said time on 2nd and 3rd shifts.  I love the night, but the work volumes vary so much daily.  There is always something I can think of doing.  It does create ideas, but it creates issues.  When your mind wonders you get wild ideas to build things and do things which you might not normally do or suggest.  It might make some think you are insane or unusual.
