Do you get called in to work often, even when you're not scheduled to do so? Do you find this as a good oportunity or just a hinderence (SP?) in your plans? I just got asked to work tomorrow for someone because he just wanted the day off. While that is a stupid excuse (especially since I'm sure it's been a while since he last worked a weekend) I was happy to do it because we are slowly but surely working on moving my grandmother into assisted living, so while I wasn't supposed to work this weekend, this will be more than a good opportunity to stay out of the way, because I can only lift 20 pounds at a time and my grandmother probably only has three or four boxes that I can actually lift without problems. I'm not the only one who's caught off guard by being asked so close to the date... technically, you're supposed to give a two week notice if you plan on being off for any reason, so both the person who asked me and I will probably be in trouble on Monday: He'll be in trouble because he shouldn't have asked for a day off just for the sake of asking for the day off, and I'll be in trouble because my job coach will say that I probably should have refused the request to work for him because you're not supposed to ask for the day off just for the heck of having it off. My boss will be caught off guard tomorrow morning because nobody consulted my supervisor about this, because this was all last minute. So I have a feeling we're both going to be in for it on Monday. However, when it comes to helping people, the word no is not in my vocabulary. I love to help and I'll gladly do it this time. I just have a feeling that tomorrow and Monday all heck is going to break loose because none of this was really planned.
Do you get called into work often (for those of you who have jobs)? Do you mind going or are you like me and you just accept when someone requests for you to work for them or you get called in because you like to help and the word no is not exactly in your vocabulary... especially when it comes to helping people?
