It's my day off and I am feeling good. I have alts and professions to lvl, a guild heroic run tonight and some possible "affection" from my significant other is in the foreseeable future. All is right in the world and my joy and innocence no bounds.
And then the phone rings.
It is my boss telling me that I have to come in and work the late shift....
Now the guild run shall go on without me, herbs will be unpicked and glyphs go unscribed, and my beloved is....unhappy to say the least.
I could have said no, but who in this economy can really afford to pass put a few extra bucks here and there? Not to mention I have the kinda workplace where if you turn down coming in on a day off you get a metric crapton more days off...more than what you can afford if you get my drift.
So, because of one lazy bugger my day off rest is ruined and I shall go yet another 2 weeks without a break.
The point of this is thus: How many of you have had the same thing/something similar happen and does it make you want to put on a rubber mask and greet people with automatic gunfire as well?
(j/k...slightly....)

You could have just not answered your phone

And be stuck with 10 hours next week because my manager is a petty raid female canine? Nope, I'll take the misery and just snarl here til I absolutely have to leave for work, then be just as friendly and cheerful as a badger with a toothache.

My last job I worked 60-70hrs a week on the regular. Didnt complain though because I would make $30/hr for the first 40hrs, $55/hr doing a saturday, and $90/hr for a holiday or sundays. I work in a hospital now so yeah they could call me in on the fly or page me and theres nothing I can do about it. When ICC was still kinda fresh my guild was attempting Saurfang for the first time, well after 2 attempts I get a page telling me I had to be in within the next 10mins XD.

I work for myself and I'm a terribly lax boss.
Can I come work for you?
