Working on a Saturday Hi fellows! I have not been writing down anything here for a couple of months due to my busy life. However, I had better practice my English abilities somewhere, otherwise I will grow rusty and even stuck on the matter of writing. Here are my notes: I do not usually work on saturdays unless I have to do extra activity with my boss and the rest of my partners. I am working today because of a different reason: my partner has a sore arm and his doctor gave her strict orders not to work in the next two days. Since I am her supervisor, I had to find a way to replace her on her shift. She works every Saturday from 7am to Sunday 7am, that is, a twenty-hour shift in a hospital. Obvious as it must be, it is not easy to find someone among her partners to substitute her. It ended up I came to work instead her. Surprisingly, a team member asked whether he could work on the night shift (from Saturday 7pm to Sunday 7am). 'Of course yes', I said. Though I will have to arrange a day off to him further, I accepted his request. So, I will keep working by his coming at 7pm. Would any native fellow correct my text?

Working on a Saturday

Hi fellows! I have not been writing down anything here for a couple of months due to my busy life. However, I had better practice my English abilities somewhere, otherwise I will grow rusty and even stuck on the matter of writing. Here are my notes: I do not usually work on sSaturdays unless I have to do extra activityies with my boss and the rest of my partners. I am working today because of a different reason: my partner has a sore arm and his doctor gave her strict orders not to work in (for) the next two days. Since I am her supervisor, I had to find a way to replace her on her shift. She works every Saturday from 7am to Sunday 7am, that is, a twenty-hour shift in a the* hospital. Obvious as it must be, it is not easy to find someone among her partners to substitute for her. It ended up that I came to work instead of her. Surprisingly, a team member asked whether he could work on the night shift (from Saturday 7pm to Sunday 7am). 'Of course yes', I said.

* "the" because I presume you are speaking about a specific hospital.

Very well written.  I did not change it, but it is more common to write a.m. / p.m. or AM / PM for morning / afternoon.
