A very easy gig is working for a chain that is undergoing a remodel - it occurs every 5-8 years or so. And they work on one or two sites @ a time then move to another until they're all done.
They normally remodel the pharmacy during the night, after hours, if they don't relocate it completely. But....there has to be a pharmacist there for the workmen to be there to work - basically babysit & make sure they don't take the Vicodin.
So....you do absolutely no "work"....you can read, watch tv, knit, play video games, talk on the phone to Europe/China or whoever else is awake at that hour. You just can't fall asleep!
You get paid your straight time & often some OT since the workmen want to work from the time the pharmacy closes until it opens.
I've known lots of pharmacists who've done this - they'll work a full week (Sun-Thurs) then start in on Fri night after closing & do this nighttime babysitting until they go back to work the following Tues or so. I'd pull my teeth out with boredom, but everybody has their own thing.....and....you lose your night. Some things are best done when you're young. The money isn't worth it to me.
In hospitals...same thing happens when you have your inventory done. In the old days, the staff would do it...now for both hospitals & retail, its done by an independent company. So...a pharmacist has to be there. It only takes about 2 hrs for a retail operation, but can take all night for a hospital - but that's just once if not twice a year.
The easiest actual "work" in doing two full time jobs is when one of the jobs is a consultant for a snf. Then you can set your hours & go into overdrive & get it done. You negotiate the consultant fee, so its not necessarily OT, but it won't burn you out either.
