With the stagnation I am looking at being on reserve for a while and it is becoming unmanageable. There are almost no blue days, either, so I can't even move X days anymore. Does anyone have some insight on ways to mitigate the reserve abuse? I am getting pretty worn down.
You cant do this every month, but this month I took a few IVD's and an APD and dropped them into the middle of 3 and 4 day reserve stretches, im essentially useless to the company just about all month. Several one day reserve blocks doing that. Bidding 3 and 4 day reserve stretches seems to cut down on me getting used too terribly much.
