I just realized why I hate on call. I am not currently on call, so that is not the issue. I will be in a couple of weeks. But that's a future problem. Who's going to solve that one? Future Matt.
Right now, I know why I dislike on call.
It breaks my routines.
That's about it.
I have several routines that I go through Monday through Friday. They are simple actions that result in a controlled beginning to a day. Occasionally, the day crashes and burns. Other days, it goes fine. But my routine stays with me.
When I lose the ability to perform that routine, things go haywire. It's not something I inherently like or am happy with. It's just a gigantic failing. It's unpleasant.
And my entire week goes to hell.
I can tell it's been a bad week when the last time I shaved was Monday. Shaving is a boring ritual. Along with brushing and flossing. Shaving happens three times a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This week, I only shaved Monday. Tuesday was the last day I performed my routine.
And I'm headed to the end the week, dragging this controlled crash into the best possibility.
I want my routine back.
