Work situation

So it is getting to be midterm, and it seems like it flew by very fast. Before I even knew it, the leaves were all around in my yard that had fallen, and I am thinking, I am so glad I don't have to rake and bag all of this as I did when I was young. One of my favorite things to do since I moved out was go and buy all of the best candy I loved when I was growing up and greet all the little kids in their cute costumes. My first two apartments were in great locations and I had lots of kids coming by. My new apartment is up on a hill away from the main street, so I am afraid I won't get to hand out candy as I look forward to so much. But, I think instead I will just take my three nephews trick-or-treating. My oldest nephew, Patrick, just had surgery on his arm, so we are having a hard time figuring out what type of costume to put him in. If he had it his way, he would go as one of the Transformers, he loves that movie! Or maybe Lightening McQueen from Cars. We will think of something.
So, there is something I have to share, because I find it amusing and ridiculous all at the same time. One of my coworkers recently split with her husband. This event started an every night drinking binge for her, which ultimately led to her losing her other job, which was a great job to have, and now she is just stuck with Ardie's. She had just found an apartment, and had to borrow a bunch of money to afford it. So within the past week she has been going around asking everyone for hours because she needs the money really bad. She did pick up a few shifts. So when she asked me about any shifts I was willing to give up, and told her she could work my Sunday, she would get great tips and it is a long day that will look good on her paycheck. She looked at me like I was insane, and said to me: "That's my drinking day!" It was almost as if I had offended her by even suggesting that. So, when she realized yesterday that she was still $100 short for rent, she started in on me again about how she needs hours. I was just thinking, are you joking? I couldn't believe it. Not only do I have rent and bills to pay too, but I had offered her the best shift she could have asked for. Maybe I am being insensitive to her drinking day, but I think she needs to get her stuff together before I am willing to help her out again. I don't know, if anyone has any thoughts on this, or if I am being mean and insensitive, let me know.
