She told me that there is a small chance she may have a work thing on Sunday night.
Is this common?
Background: W has training as an EMT, and she uses that in her current job as a so-called ‘collateral duty’ (a collateral duty is something extra that employees of her agency can take on—it’s like a volunteer capacity in other jobs). So, her collateral duty is as an EMT / medic for agent fitness tests, or agent operations.
If I understood her correctly last night, Sunday something is ‘going down’ with a target—and so she *may* be needed to help in her EMT capacity. She said there is a very small chance, but she’s putting it on my radar.
Back to the original question: Is this common? Often enough, yes: a good number of things come up for job where she is needed in varying capacities, not to mention her taking work trips for trainings.
This was a source of friction / resentment on my part earlier in her job and in our MR; however, over the last couple of years I’ve more come to peace or acceptance with it.
