I just got to work at 02:30, covering the second half of the graveyard shift. Pretty quiet night.

I know. We actually don't (can't) force OT. Strictly voluntary, with a 12-hour maximum.

Unfortunately (on this topic) I'm the acting Supervisor, so it kinda sorta falls in my lap when everyone says no. I don't actually have to do it, but if I don't, then there would be fairly major reporting problems with the state, not to mention public safety issues, and that would be more trouble than adjusting my schedule every once in a while.

We're, like almost all city positions, critically understaffed. Hiring is slow, but hopefully we get a new crop of people to train in the next several months.
