Depends on who you're working for.

First of all, don't assume you'll be working the full two weeks. The first time I gave my two weeks, they ceased to schedule me at the end of the first week. Fuckers. If you have sick time, use it. You can't take it with you. Vacation time, you might get paid for, but seeing you only have a bit of time, this doesn't apply.

You may not be taking any references, but your future employer still might call your present. If you call out, and don't have sick time, it's an unexcused absence, and attendance is something they can ask about. If you have perfect attendance so far, you can get away with calling out maybe once. Any more than twice, and they'll cut you altogether.

Moral of the story: Be careful. They can still influence your future employment. Take a day off if you like, but don't go any further than that.
