I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Today my whole department is WFH, my new supervisor is out sick, my old supervisor is on vacation, two other managers in the department are out of the office and our VP is working from home all week (with a week-old baby, I guess he is taking next week off? IDK but this is their 7th kid so presumably he knows what he is doing with this scheduling). I ran out of stuff that needs to be done this week yesterday afternoon (spent a good couple of hours cleaning out my paper files, rearranging my desk, and wiping down surfaces). My plan for the day is to monitor emails, do some yard work in the morning before it gets too hot, and knock off early to see a movie, either Everything Everywhere All At Once or The Batman.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Talked to my doctor's office today, and it is mandatory drug testing twice a year and randomly whenever. So I guess I'm changing psychs.

BTW, I got a "WTAF" IM from a coworker the other day, so I really feel like our relationship is growing!

I'm not being unreasonable, right? Their whole concern is overuse of opioids, fine, but they're coming at it from a punishment approach rather than a management approach.

I don't think you are being unreasonable. It doesn't sound like patient care is the top priority and that seems like enough of a reason to go somewhere else if there is another option available.
