My co-worker just decided to add two extra days off to her vacation. She was going to take Thursday and Monday off (we dont work Fridays) but now added Wednesday and next Tuesday as well. It would be no big deal, but I am a nurse and that just means we will be working short those days. The flameful part is that her friend just passed away and she wanted some more time *away from it all*. I am a terrible person for being a little upset that this is going to make my life suck while she is gone...I know, I am going to burn in he**

I have not said a thing. I actually told her we would be just fine while she was gone. Inside I am annoyed
I can understand. My sister is a nurse - it takes a lot out of you so you will be running ragged for being short - which takes a lot away from your energy at home. My DH is a cop and if he's short changed at work, it carries over at home and the rest of us pick up the slack so he can recooperate.
Take care of yourself when you're home!
Totally normal and not flame-worthy IMHO.
