Try Returning the Favor

Some of us have jobs that allow us to call in for the day. Others of us (mainly these no/low pay gigs) have jobs that have to "document" your absences and require you to find someone to cover your shift.

Well, I promise, people call or text me every day asking me to cover their shift....but it's crickets whenever I need someone to cover for me. Sometimes you wanna be spiteful and say no based on the prinicple of the matter...then you remember that you really could use that money from that extra day!

This is an actual story. No lie:

I texted all the girls I work with last Tuesday. "I'm coming down with something and I feel like crap. Can anyone please work my 9:45-5 shift tomorrow?" Do you know all them heffas ignored me? Except for one, who told me she already worked at that time.

But then this one dizzy girl had the nerve to text me later THE SAME DAY: "Would anyone want to work my 5-close tonight?"

*****Wow, was my first thought. You shoulda sent that to everybody BUT me*******

Then this sharp pencil had the nerve to CALL me and ask, "Did you get my message?"
I paused. Cuz I wanted to reach out and slap her. I said, "Yea, ummmm did you get MY msg. I don't feel good."

The girl cuts me off, "Oh yea yea, that's right...so do u know who WOULD want to work for me, like who would want some hours?"

***** I was so blown by that I didn't know what to say. I shoulda hung up in her d*mn face. I'm like, "Um, try Sara" THEN she texted me the very NEXT day asking me to cover her next Tuesday night shift. smh.

That trick is unreal. When I go back to work, I'ma leave a note by the schedule stating that I am available to NEW PPL only to cover shifts.
