Today I was called 3 times to go into work. 3 times. Where do I work you ask? I hold down a simple job as a desk receptionist in the local dorm I live in. Sure, it's a do nothing job, and I do mean do nothing (I mostly draw and read while I'm down there).
However, due to the nature of the dorm, the desk has to be manned-- or in this case, wo-manned, as the dorm is women only-- 24 hours a day. If someone doesn't show up, it is our responsibility to fill the gap. Being the person I am, if someone can't make it, or of someone doesn't show up, I'll usually say sure, I'll fill the spot.
Today however, wore my patience super thin. I was off today, and 3 seperate times, I was called and asked to come to work because my co-workers didn't show up. I went 2 of the times, but the 3rd time I said no. I feel like my kindness is being taken advantage of, even though I enjoy the extra money that pays for my college debt. I have a mind to scream at the next person who calls me because a worker didn't come in. These people need to take lessons from Donald Trump, start firing asses, then we'll see who comes to work and who doesn't.
