I work in the airline industry, and unfortunately airports never close. I'm scheduled to work Christmas Eve, and had previously put in for a day off, which was denied. This will be the last year I'll be able to see my entire family together due to other circumstances, so it's imperative that I be there. I'm worried if I do call in sick there will be other disciplinary actions beyond the norm. It's been about 6 months since the last time I called in sick. Any thoughts?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Family is important, but so is paying bills. You have to decide which takes precedence in this situation.
If it were me, I'd find a way to be with my family.

Does your boss know all of this? Bosses have families, too. Maybe there is a compromise possible.
