We just got a phonecall from Bastard's work, wanting to see if he can work tonight. The thing is, he's at work at the moment. He almost always works on Saturdays (and Sundays, hence why non-working day confluences are rare). The person calling had the roster right in front of them (they may or may not be in the same building, I don't know). And even if he were at home, not working today, it would be against his work's policies to get him to work today, because he's already scheduled for shifts on five days a week or more until the holiday period is over (at least), and according to their own rules, five is the maximum.
They are, however, getting better about calling at times when I'm already awake, instead of 6 or 6:30 am. And they do seem to check the roster (at least for the shift they need people for) before calling, we haven't been called up to see if Bastard can come in to replace someone else on a shift he's already working in a while.
