The technician I was training was checking his phone ALL. NIGHT. And not in a way that was disruptive or dangerous at all. It wasn't even unprofessional imo. It dinged while we were cleaning up my 1:1 and I could see him get excitedly tense but he waited until we got our dirty gloves off to even look at it then asked if he could take a quick five minute break. Honestly he was so obviously lovesick how could I even say no.

Whole night went on like that he was polite, professional, attentive, everything he needed to be. He kept the patients as safe as he needed to. But damn if he didn't smile every time that phone dinged and run to check it the second we had downtime.

Around 1am I asked what her name was and he was SHOOK. "Is it that obvious?" Yes, honey. You don't actually have to tell me her name, and you are doing the job I'm training you for JUST. FINE. but YES, YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY SMITTEN, LOL.
