NWR- My boss just called me...

I just posted this on the 09 board too..

on a Sunday!! I work in a middle/hs in the Admissions office. I've only been there since Sept and its a Mon-Fri type deal NOT a weekend job whatsoever. Last week I had to work while she was away(which I was pretty annoyed with to begin with-it was me and the maintenance staff for the most part when everyone else was off on vacation including my boss) and I emailed her a report I had done. Apparently her email box was full so she never received it....I'm not sure why she was calling me since I cant email the report from home. She said if I was around to call her back and see if I can get the report to her. I mean she doesnt really need the report until tomorrow...so I'm just a little confused. Plus if the report is wrong I am going to have to work with her on the phone to fix it?? She said at the end of the message that if I dont get the message to not worry about it and I will see her tomorrow. This is NOT where I want to be with a job...I mean I know the economy sux and I'm happy to have a job but I literally make peanuts...couldnt find a job with my Masters in school counseling so I am going back to school in Sept for my Masters in special education. So basically this is just a 'for now' kind of job...dont get me wrong I work REALLY hard at my job and go beyond for everyone there. I decided not to call her back after speaking about it with FH...I just feel like it's not life or death and it could wait until tomorrow. Plus I think I need to kind of put a boundary between work and personal life(unless it was extremely important of course). I just wanted to see if anyone had to deal with something similiar and what your thoughts are on it? TIA!

You should call her back at like 11:45 pm... and wake her up, lol.

That really wouldn't bother me unless it was happening all the time. I also have an incredible relationship with my coworkers though. Once in a whlie they will call me to ask something but I don't mind it...

Yea I dont really just that relationship with my co-workers...I mean Ive only been there a little over 5 months I guess so it's different. I guess if I knew I could do something from home I would call...but I know I cant and I just find it disrespectul to call someone on a weekend unless it was pertinent or you are required to work weekends.

I would totally call her back and tell her that you tried to send it to her but her mail box was full. You not calling her back sorta makes it seem like you didn't do what you should have done.

I work Mon-Fri 6 to whenever I am done and I get calls at all hours of the day and weekends.
