st night was like that for me and my partner J, only in our world, instead of water dripping constantly and randomly, its a phone ringing...constantly and randomly. That is part of the torture of it...you never know when the next one is going to come...so its impossible to rest easy. However, we do have the hope that at 0700, while the phone will continue to ring...it won't be for us. Even though our total number of calls was only 11 in 24 hours...we did not sleep until at least 0400. (I didn't even make my bunk up until that time.) None of our calls were particularly interesting either. Oh well. Maybe next shift there will be something worth a post.
