I have a job in my school, which is nice cuz i get to be on campus and not have to move around all the time. When I first started working there, my boss was super nice to me. But, lately she's developed an attitude in general. It's frustrating because it's in the library and this is all new to me. I have never worked in a library before. For not having any experience in this field, I have been doing pretty well. I've been working there already for two months and I have gotten the hang of things. She knows that I don't have experience and this is only a student job. But, I've just noticed she's had an attitude lately. Sidenote.

Today, I have an exam for my online class tonight. I REALLY needed to study. And I needed to catch up on work. About a week ago, I made an appointment for today to get my hair done. I'm getting it dyed. So, today I got up and my mom tells me... why don't you just call in sick today since you have so much work to do? And I thought it wasn't a bad idea. I do have an appointment tonight after all and I could use the time to get work done. Big deal... people call in all the time to just have a day off and go shopping. I'm calling in so I can get work done!

But... I just thought of something. What's it gonna look like when I come in tomorrow with my hair dyed?!?!?! She's going to notice something is different? LOL

Please let me know what I should do!

Thanks!

You should go to work as usual if you want to build your reputation for being responsible.

Ask your boss if you may leave - without pay - to go to your hair appointment.

If you are not finding enough time to study, perhaps you should review how your are using your time outside of work. Studying should not be done during your work time.

I agree. I have not missed even one day since I started working there in the entire semester. But, being it that we are in midterms, I don't think it's that big of a deal. My old job (not at school), would have let me take a day off to study. My school job is very understanding of it too. I haven't taken a day off since I started. My hair appointment isn't even during the time I'm working
