I was scheduled for my usual 4-hour shift yesterday ... from 12:30 to 4:30.
Two hours into my shift, a supervisor comes over.
S: "Would you be willing to stay a bit later tonight?"
Me: "How late?"
S: "Um ... until 9?"
Me:
Apparently a 5-9 person had called in sick. Supervisor didn't think I'd take it. Her face when I said "Oh, okay"
was something to behold. 
That meant I got a half-hour lunch plus a second break. It also meant I got to use the one and only Miss Congeniality ticket I've received to date.
A couple of hours later, a coworker said "Boy, are you going to regret this."
You're kidding, right? I regretted it two minutes after I said "Okay."
And my one cat screamed bloody murder at me when I finally walked in the door, because I was SOOOOOO late.
