Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : My coworker who is also a friend of mine has a vacation coming up for an important event. She was unable to get the day before her vacation block approved due to schedule conflicts with other co-workers, but the event includes this day. She asked me to cover it since we work the same shift, but I said no because I also have a celebratory event planned for that weekend.  


Relevant factors: 

* We have known each other relatively longer and generally try to help each other out, so I feel pretty guilty.
* I feel like my friend was trying to guilt me into taking it when it's not solely my obligation to make sure that she can get to this event.
* My co-worker's event is considered by most to be more important than mine.
* I DID offer to cover it if none of my other coworkers were willing to.
* It is easier for me to cover it in terms of changing around shifts vs. her having to ask other coworkers.
* We have per diem co-workers who **should** be pulled to help cover but our scheduling method can make this tricky as the per diems/part timers have choices about what to pick up.
