Is there a boss above them you can go to and say "Hey, this person is threatening to fire me over an unreasonable demand that in my two years here has never been an issue, what the fuck?"

Usually you don't want to go over your bosses head, but obviously this person is a fuck and if it's a choice between that and losing your income, I'd say toss your boss under the bus since that's what they're doing to you.
This too.
This three. Unless they can point to an incident where you actively failed to respond to a phone call or an incident because you were playing, they don't have reasonable grounds for this.

I used to work weekend tech support when I was on the BATF account, because shit happens, even on a weekend. But it meant a TON of downtime. There were a few instances in which I came in and got zero calls in eight hours. Like you, I would have gone insane just sitting there (or fallen asleep).

My manager had a "no Facebook/gaming/etc" rule during the regular workday, which was a fair rule (and which many people skirted anyways, especially the social media parts). But he didn't give a shit what I did on weekends, as long as I answered the calls when they came in, which I did.

3rd shift work is not like normal work, unless you're in a factory setting. Either your new boss has never dealt with this fact before, or as others have said, they've decided to look for a reason to fire you.

My advice would be to quantify the situation -- take a week and record times at which you receive phone calls (and how long they lasted) and likewise for in-hospital incidents where you're needed. Ask your boss to provide any proof that your job performance has been sub-par. If they can't, and still insist on this policy, then go to their boss.

It's Thanksgiving tomorrow. Not so much "family has fun and cherishes eachother" as "family puts on a facade so that we can interact the bare minimum, then quickly retreat to our own homes to talk about what every other family member did wrong at the dinner table".

Ahhh...a passive-aggressive American tradition. If it's any consolation, I'm having Thanksgiving with my ex-wife's family. Awwwwwkward.
I don't have enough of my own family left alive to really have a "family" Thanksgiving.

I'm not sure if my extended family is passive-aggressive or not, but their endless teasing pisses me off.

This might be half rage, and it might not even be sadness, but since I've been talking about my shit here, I'm going to explain some things here.

So, my group leader was busy tonight and I couldn't talk to him. So I talked to one of the better alumni in Brentwood, my buddy Dillion, and i just unloaded on him. And he saw an underlying thing that was upsetting me:

My fucking teacher, who I've been scared of taking this girl away from me, is actually breaking the rules of being a teacher and, after he analyzed what I said, he believes he's taking advantage of this girl. He also says he thinks my teacher shouldn't be doing this WHEN HE HAS A FUCKING GIRLFRIEND.

My buddy also told me that I should report him to his boss because what he's doing is wrong on more than a personal level. I don't jno if that's right, but I guarentee if I do this, and the girl I like finds out, she will hate me. She says she will forgive me for one thing, but this might take that and a few other chances.

My group leader will have to give me insight, but if I do this, I have several people who will back me on this and one of my friends could even get pictures of need be.

And the worst part my buddy said? Is the fact she's 18 and vulnerable and he's 26, taken, and is taking advantage of this girl.

Now that I see THIS is one of the real underlying reasons why I'm getting so hostile towards him, I don't even know if I should give him a warning shot or not. And if I rat him out, he'll know it was me because of the hostility I give him

Highmax: Again, I recommend talking to her about it.
I feel like a broken record, but seriously, you shouldn't be bottling.
And if you think she's being taken advantage of, you might want to show some concern.

As a Brit, lol.

In my tired state and with the red line under the lol saying that it's spelled wrong, it looks like a drowning man.

Cannot unsee.

It's all good, I'm actually on good terms with the ex and her family (well, other than her sister). Still feels a little weird tho.

I've got no family in reasonable distance, my mom has to close tomorrow, my step-dad will be doing other things, and Cinder is busy with RL stuff. So...Looks like I'll be spending my favorite holiday effectively alone. Yay.

Oh well. At least I have the dogs.
