So there's this guy. Let's call him Jim. Jim is a co-worker of mine. Not really a friend, but we get along, and I'd cover for him if something came up. Which, here lately, it has. His dad died, because of negligence by his siblings. And now he's in danger of losing his job.

Enter our supervisor, Winter. Winter comes in this morning and asks if I want to change my schedule. Apparently it's because of Jim. The property owners aren't really happy with Jim right now. And they want him gone. But Winter supposedly doesn't want Jim gone. So he wants me to switch shifts with him, hoping it'll save his job.

Only I doubt it'll work. Cause one of the property owners, let's call her c**-Guzzling Penny-Whore, when she wants somebody gone, they tend to get gone. And apparently she's been waiting for this chance for a long time.

So I'm left with a choice: switch shifts with Jim in an effort to save his job, or stay where I'm at, let him lose his job, and possibly spiral into a wellspring of depression and endless red tape in the unemployment line.

On the other hand, I have to deal with the possibility that this is actually a trap set for me. Call it paranoia, but I doubt whether the property owners are thrilled with me either. Not that I'd know, it's not like I ever see them... ever. But I know the contractor that caught me accidentally napping at work the other week has a big mouth, and probably talks to the property owners quite a bit. So maybe they're trapping me by wanting to get me on that shift so they can deal with me directly. Or maybe they're trying to trap me by my refusal to take the shift, where they can use the excuse I'm not available 24/7 like I'm supposed to be.

*sighs* I don't know what to do. I hate not knowing what to do. I hate being faced with an impossible moral dilemma. On the one hand, I need to keep my shift so I can get maximum hours on my second job. On the other hand, I don't want Jim to lose his job just a month after losing his father. It's kind of a d**k move.

Then again, maybe Winter's the d**k for putting me in this dilemma in the first place.
