So my phone rings at 1 am this morning and I check it and the ID says Shannon. Why is she calling? She knows it's my day off. Of course I'm sleeping right now. Grrr. If it's important she'll leave a message.
As it turns out, she's puking and is supposed to be at work at 3 am. What is she supposed to do? I have no idea. The problem here is that only 2 people work at that time. And you're not supposed to go into the store alone. So there's no good way of calling that person and letting them know you're sick. I don't know what to do, but now that I know about the situation I feel like I'm responsible for doing something about it.
So 2:30 rolls around and she's still sick so I volunteer to go in and cover that first hour or whatever until the next employee shows up. Yay light scheduling! means no one else will be in until 530. Great. And I get to work with one of my least favorite coworkers. Oh well. The other opener is one of those people that I just don't get along with. We can work together fine and I have no problem being civil, but I just don't have a lot of respect for her in the work place... for various reasons I don't want to get into here on the off chance that some day someone might read it and it gets me in trouble.
I go in, I work, I leave, I go back to bed. All of a sudden it's 120p and there went most of my day. Not that this is the end of the world or anything. I just had planned on running errands and getting other things done today. Now I'm spending the day lying in bed blogging and watching DVDs. Tragic, I know :D
This gets me thinking... What would you have done? Would you have gone in? I guess I didn't feel like I even had a choice, but I suppose I could have just rolled over and pretended I never got the message until morning. If the call had come from someone I wasn't friends with, would I have still felt obligated to cover?
