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?
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

"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.
