Hi, I work nights in a home for young people with learning disabilities. I've been there for 8 months and have never phoned in sick before. It's my 30th birthday on a saturday, and they have put me down to work the friday night. There is only one other night worker and she won't want to swap with me as she's not keen on working friday nights anyway.
I'm going to be quite buisy on the saturday, so won't get much sleep then I'll be really tired for my party.
I know it might look a bit obvious, as I've requested that sat night off and they know it's my birthday. Is there anything I could say that would seem genuine? If I ask and they say no, that's it but If I'm ill, they have to give me the night off.
By the way, I don't get paid if I'm sick!
