Well, it is mainly lab techs working during times that the office of 
the *doctor* who ordered the tests is closed (say, Wednesday 
afternoon or on a Saturday). But on occasion I am aware, in the case 
of bizarre clinical conditions (typically hematologic) technicians 
are scheduled to work into the evening or may be asked ad hoc to work 
overtime at the direction of a concerned lab doctor. But likely you 
appreciated this and were just joking. :-)
