In my line of work (nurse) I get called in all of the time for people who call off. Sucks, but when all is said and done someone has to take care of the people.

Waaay back, when I was still married, I got called in on Christmas afternoon shift. It sucked. However, when I got off and back home at midnight, there was a dinner ready, and my husband had evidently spent the 10 hours I was away, with travel time, totally cleaning the house. There wasn't a bit of laundry to be done, the house was spotless...it was the Best. Christmas. Ever. I didn't have to lift a finger except to pick up a fork. And we still went out and celebrated the next day when I was off work.
