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?
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

"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.

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.
