    I've been posted at a clinic for a couple of weeks and there is literally nothing to do there. Just sit for the most part.
    A big thrill is calling a local hospital shuttle, or the bus company Dial-a-ride to transport someone.
    I have spent more time on FB (a couple of hours a day) than I have in the last year combined.
    At another post I can take the laptop and be productive doing something.
    I've been putting in 56+ hour weeks for a month.
    Glad I'm retired and only working part time. I can imagine the hours I
    would be working if I were full time again.

    I'm busier being a widower than I was when I was married. :P

    Probably 168 Hours a week if You are allowed to sleep on the job.

    7 X 24 = 168
