stupid problem but insight plz

Maybe it isnt even a problem at all but I am betweena rock and a hard place so any insight woud be appreciated.

Tomorrow night is my Christmas party at work I rsvp'd already so I gotta go they know I am supposed to go to Massachusets for the weekend and they understand that I am going to cut out of the party early the big thing is to at least show up for a little while.

So my two friends that I am going to see Sareen and punam call me at work today asking me to call out sick to work tomorrow that way we can spend the whole day together I tell them cant do it I get paid on fridays plus I just dont do that kind of stuff I dont get paid if I am not there.

So I tell them this plus they know I have to go to the christmas party my friend Sareen proceeds to tell me that her and punam both have to work on Saturday at like 5pm til closing so I am here thinking why am I even going to drive from Connecticut to Massachusets at 8pm wont get there til 10pm to leave the next afternoon it doesnt seem worth it.

So my problem is I am thinking they are coming home next weekend and I am having a huge dinner party thing with them on the 20th and then I am spending chiristmas with them too So I figured I can bag the weekend with them and just veg out this is the first time I will not have to work a Saturday in a very long time and it would be kinda nice to sleep in.

I am afriad to call Sareen and tell her this she will freak out on me am I being too rash in this decision or do I seem to be validated in this.

I nkow that Sareen is gonna think that I am bagging cause Saturday is also my friend Erics going away party he is moving to France for a year or so and it was supposed to be the 6th but it snowed and it is now this Saturday I already told him I wouldnt be there but if I stay in town I will stop by to say goodbye but that is not the reason I want to stay home.

So I might stop at the party this is where another problem arises remember Jon the guy who wouldnt get it up owns a bar used me but I let him do that so anyways Eric works at Jons bar as a bartender the going away party is at the bar I know Jon will be there he is one reason why I do not want to go I know I shouldnt let that stop me but I know that I will spend the whole time thinking about jon and getting upset.

Like I said stupid problem I know but when you have a friend like Sareen you gotta cover your self in all areas or she will get very upset with you.

So any insight info advice anything would be great

Thanks
