He can use Uber or call a taxi or ride a bus or call someone else. You do you and if people are mad about that it is thier problem. I know you help him out a lot and I know he probably doesn't have a job.
You can't help someone else out at the expense of yourself. (I have to tell myself that also because I am the same way)
Also-just be like JD Vance from Friday's meeting at the WH and say, "YOU BETTER SHOW APPRECIATION and DIPLOMACY!" or something like that.

No is a complete sentence.

Same here. Popping that tire last Saturday fucked me up mentally and financially. And drained all my time off. I was informed when I called in this morning that if i didn't come in Monday I would be off payroll and not get paid for Monday.

Don't worry, I'm going to work Monday and not losing my good State job. I might have had a mini mental breakdown, but I'm fine now. I wasn't totally unproductive, I finally cleaned a few weeks of dirty dishes and cleaned out all the expired food from my cabinets and freezer. Going to also hopefully do my laundry before I return to work.
