Sad Puppy

Sad puppy today. Sad because one of my colleagues is sad...and I'm sad for her. Terrible thing she is going through at the moment.
Secondly...very selfishly...is because I'm going to be working myself in my chops. My schedule looks like this:
Monday - Worked
Tuesday - Worked
Wednesday - Worked
Thursday - Worked
Friday - Working right now
Saturday - Scheduled to work
Sunday - Scheduled to work
Monday - Scheduled to work
Tuesday - Scheduled to work
Wednesday - Scheduled to work
Thursday - Scheduled to work
Friday - Scheduled to work
Saturday - Scheduled to work
Sunday - Off
Monday - Scheduled to work
Tuesday - Scheduled to work
Wednesday - Scheduled to work
Thursday - Scheduled to work
Friday - Scheduled to work
Notice that I only have 1 day off in this 3 week cycle. I'm going to be fried. All because I offered to help out a colleague who failed to highlight that this would happen if I did. I should have checked myself and will do so in future. I really shouldn't trust people so blindly. I can't bail out now since this colleague is away on leave. FFS. I'm currently on the Friday that says 'Working right now', so I'm still fine for now. But when I get to the second Friday that says 'Scheduled to work' I'll be a dead woman working.
This must be illegal.

Ooh dear. You poor thing. Over here, I believe that working 7 days in a row entitles you to a day off. You might want to speak to your HR dept or boss to find out about flexitime or whatever options that apply with your extra work.
