Nice coworkers.

This month, my one (newer) (taller) (Thai) coworker at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now, told me that she can no longer work weekends...

She's been dating a guy for a bit now and he's from a town that's like 40 minutes away, so she wants to spend weekends with him, and commuting back and forth for work for a weekend shift is too much.

But, she said that if I was going to be gone over a weekend and I needed someone to cover those shifts, just let her know as far in advance as possible, and she would plan to stay at her mom's in town that weekend, and work a lot then.

What a nice coworker!

It's great to have a work environment, where people are relatively normal and everyone pitches in and does the "give and take" thing, to make everything work out for everyone.

I've covered a number of shifts for her when she's needed time off, since my schedule is relatively flexible, including once on shorter notice when one of her daughters got sick and had to stay home from school.

So, it's nice to see that reciprocated.
