Mothership manager just called. Would I take somebody's shift from 3-8:30 p.m. tomorrow? Coworker needs time to study.
Ya know ... not my problem. I don't mean to sound like a cranky old curmudgeon, but I managed to get my studying in during my two years in school without always trying to get somebody else to fill in for me at work (this isn't the first time I've taken one of her shifts because of school stuff). And I'm already being really loaded down with shifts (LONG shifts) in the run-up to Christmas.
At first I said flatly "No" ... then I decided instead to trade ... if she'll take one of my shifts next week, I'll take her shift tomorrow. Manager said he would get back to me.
I really have to stop answering the damn phone.
