Solo Night Shift Secrets

Working night shifts at the ER can be lonely as hell, but it also comes with perks. Last week, I was on duty and had a slow stretch around midnight. My office door was locked, curtains drawn tight against any curious eyes. Felt like the perfect opportunity to finally try out my new toy, a sleek, remote-controlled vibe I’d been eyeing for weeks. I started off slow, letting it just hum softly while I flipped through patient files. Built up from there though, kept a hand on my phone just in case, but the other was busy elsewhere. Got lost in the rhythmic hum of machinery around me and how much control the little device gave me. Soon enough, I had one hand gripping an edge of my desk chair, the other exploring under my scrubs. The remote buzzed to life with a steady pulse, matching the tempo inside me. Felt like I was caught between being totally in tune with my body and just watching it happen from outside, like I could turn off some part of my brain and let the waves hit without flinching or worrying about judgment. The climax hit me hard, a burst that left me shaking a little even after it passed. Made me laugh out loud when I realized how silly it all was to be so invested in the moment while technically still “at work.”
