Today I have to go into work three hours early because, in a fit of good will some six weeks ago, I said "sure, why not!" to extending my shift this way, incidentally in order to facilitate my boss's trip to Mexico.
Tomorrow, a day I usually have off, I'll be working an extra-long shift at another of my jobs. Why? Because when I'm asked face-to-face, I have a hard time simply providing "because I'd rather not" as an excuse.
I sign myself on for misery with the best of intentions - I'm gonna help out! It's no big deal - and when the bill comes due, I realize that I'm small and petty and lazy and generally feeling ungenerous.
Of course if either boss got me on the phone and asked if it was okay, I would insist that it was, which leads me to believe my problem may not be the good intentions, but the inability to admit the bad ones...
