    My husband was off the last three days. On his last day we found out a very good friend had passed. He had some drinks. It effected him very badly. He hasn't had anything to drink in at least 18 hours. I don't want to say 24 because it's short of that. He is really really hung over and can barely move. He loves his new job and feels stupid but #### it. Advice? Please? Geezzzz...

    Call the company & tell them a close friend or a relative passed away & he needs a couple of days off to attend the funeral.

    There is no question about getting in the truck. He wouldn't do that.

    I hope he doesn't loose his job. He really feels happy there so far. I guess we are all our own worst enemies. Say a prayer for us please. And thanks for the support. Sometimes life happens.

    Call them and tell them what's going on and if they have any shred of human decency they will understand. It shouldn't be a big deal to ask for a few days off.
