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?
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
