I'd show up, hang in a bit.

"Sorry guys. Just not with it today. My uncle died last night, had to come in, having a hard time concentrating."

Notice I didn't throw my boss under the bus? :) But the question of why I had to come in festers like a lingering fart. Now the boss has to play the good guy, or praise me for me sacrifice. Either way he looks an ass and I said nothing against him.

Play it from there.

You still missed being with your family, and no one really gives a fuck about how distraught you look. Congrats, you got played.

If you're forced into a fight, you might as well hit back.

And congrats! You have the privilege of making that choice.

It's because of people who fought, that we enjoy that 'privilege'.
