im gonna have to. i cant work til 12:30 at night and then get up at 6 after spending all night on my school work

well, call them and tell them. you're giving them plenty of notice to cover your shift and any kind of employment tribunal would find in your favour if they threatened to fire you etc etc. offer to do one of the shifts of whoever covers for you if they get arsey. but call them to say you wont be in as soon as possible.

i work tomorrow, so im telling them tomorrow.

Just dont show up on funeral day. Go in the next day and tell them you went out, got drunk, and tossed in the drunk tank. And they just were not special enough to use your one phone call on. If they dont like it..fuck'em.

i'm really sorry to hear about your cousin *hugs* ... just go to the funeral, i agree with the others, ask if somebody else can cover for you, and regardless, just go to the funeral, fuck work. hope you're ok...

*hugs* that's a shitty place to be working friend. Go and pay your respects and if they don't like it it's thier problem.
