A few weeks ago a coworker called in sick. I had to work twice as long as I normally would.

So you covered him. It was very noble from your side to act in this way

It was, but it didn't help my feelings towards that coworker.

Well, at least you did something good for that co-worker and most probably he feels indebted toward you

That is true, I just hope he was really sick. I hate it when I have to cover for people who are hungover.
