You know You Have Job Burnout When....

10. You're so tired, you now answer the phone with

"Go to Hell."

09. Your friends call to ask how you've been, and

you immediately scream,

"Stop asking me all these damn questions!"

08. Your garbage can IS your "In" box.

07. You wake up to discover your house is on fire,

but go back to sleep

because you just don't care.

06. You consider a 40 hour week a vacation.

05. Visions of the upcoming weekend help you make

it through Monday.

04. You don't set your alarm anymore because you

know your pager will go

off before your alarm does.

03. You leave for a party and instinctively bring

your ID badge.

02. Your DayTimer/Work Planner exploded a week ago.

And the NUMBER ONE sign that you are burned out

because of work.....

01. You think about how relaxing it would be if you

were in jail right now.

I think another sign of burnout is when you show up on a phsych call and the cops taser you because they think you're crazier than the patient.

More signs of burn out:

The unresponsive, not breathing patient no longer pumps your adrenalin

You don't get excited over bringing a patient back from the brink of death

You feel no emotion when losing a patient

You get woke up by your significant other for bitching about EMS in your sleep

Your pager goes off and you don't rush to the ambulance. You take the time to finish that article in JEMS

EMS is no longer a way of life it's a pain in the a$$

Your out loud voice becomes more prominent than your inner voice. Oops, did I just say that out loud

and finally..... you call dispatch from the radio and they don't answer and you get pissed. Your partner then tells you that dispatch is 900 not 600. Duh :oops:
