treyvanaDear boss-man
I know that I'm light on work. Really, I do.
HOWEVER, that does not, under any circumstances, make it ok to sign me up for being on-call without any warning, or even asking me.
No, I can't be on call this weekend. During the week? Sure, why not, its something to put on my timesheet, and I generally don't make any big plans for weeknights anyways. But, you see, you pompous jackass, I have PLANS this weekend. I plan my weekends, sometimes weeks, even months in advance. And no, I am not going to cancel my plans so I can wait for the phone to ring. Furthermore, I have no intention of going to an emergency response if it happens during one of my planned events. I plan my weekends according to the on-call schedule, which was organized two months ago. Stop dumping it on me just because I'm light on work. I have a life, thanks.
No Love,
me
Thankfully, a coworker actually WANTED to be on call this weekend so he could build up hours and use less vacation time. I get a couple hours, he gets a couple hours, everyone is relatively happy.
