Switching Shifts
Well, I was in a good mood most of the day. I was busy and it was good, even if at times I was a bit too busy.
That was until Kristen realized that she switched shifts with me for this Sunday. She has a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. Because she's a high-risk pregnancy she has to get an ultrasound every four weeks (the Tuesday at the end of my long stretch). So I traded with her. But after last month (where I traded Tuesday for Friday) I felt really drained. So I wanted to switch Sunday instead of Friday. And she was fine with that then.
But today she comes up all upset that she has to work three Sunday's in a row. And even saying that she will get to work with Wanda and not by herself doesn't help (I guess she doesn't like Wanda). And now she wants me to trade her Sunday for Friday which means I would have every other day off because of the holiday.
So now she's in a way trying to make me feel bad because I don't want to switch. And it isn't that I don't want to work Sunday. I really don't care. What bothers me is I went out of my way to trade with her. I gave up having three days off in a row so she could have her doctor's appointment. And now she wants to give up having two days off in a row? I have plans, sorta.
My gut feeling is just to say, hey, I'm not going to switch next month. But then she might not switch with me when I need to switch shifts so I can go be secretary for CAP. I don't want to bite myself in the foot just because she's irratating me at the moment.
But then again, why should I go out of my way to help her when she doesn't seem to realize that I am. Normally I don't care about switching with other people. I figure if I am willing to switch with them they will be willing to switch with me. But to make a switch and then ask me to take the day I gave up? That is just rude. And unfair.
I actually did go upstairs to talk to the managers. I told them I would have no problems working Sunday if they could find someone to take my Tuesday. But it is such short notice, and they are so screwed because the person who does schedules is in the hospitol and the grand opening is next Saturday. So Kristen is going to get screwed, because I'm not switching days. If she askes I will tell her, whether it is the truth or not, that I have plans Sunday.
So anyone out there want to make plans for Sunday so I am not lying? *grins*
