If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.[9/2/08] [5/7/08] [16/7/08] [23/9/09] [28/5/10] [29/5/10] [3/6/10]

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!
Calling in sick would be the easy way out, but you shouldn't need to lie, hun.
You're a human being - sometimes, people have appointments and things to do around their jobs - and when you're honest about it, you can expect your boss to understand.
Why don't you just explain to her you have an exam and need the time to study, but will catch up on everything tomorrow - it's understandable you will want to revise. As for your hair, you're not asking for time off to get your hair dyed, you're doing that in your own personal time when you wouldn't be at work anyway - so if she pulls you up on it, explain this to her.
Honesty is the best policy. She might be being a bit hard to handle recently, but she's human as well and maybe she has a few things going on outside of work causing her to act like this.
Let me know how it all goes. Good luck.
(Rating: 5) Thank you for understanding. As I mentioned, I had never even missed a day. Lately, this website has gotten on my nerves because people are answering so cruelly. Thank you for being human.. the only person on this site who is.
