For those not medical, this means I pick and choose the days and hours I work every month. These positions don't have benefits, but the pay is usually several dollars an hour higher. With my shift differential I will be making about 40$ an hour, which means I can work 10 days a month and make the same amount of money.

I've decided that if they don't hold their end of the bargain, my price is about to go up. They don't have any choice. Several people are quitting. I'm staying mostly to watch the lab I built sink like the Titanic while I play violin on the deck.
