An HR team member had to ask for a rain check yesterday due to illness (with an actual diagnosis provided) and asked to reschedule for today or later in the week. They're radio silent today and there's no backup interviewer. I also have an on-site tomorrow that may end in an offer, and which I cited as a scheduling issue in prior correspondence.

Would I come off as "I'm trying to make you feel special" if I say that I'm willing to ask for time to consider an offer in a request for an update?

I’d worry it would come off the wrong way. Potentially just wait and see how your on-site goes tomorrow and then make a choice. Illness and emergencies happen, but always wary when nobody else can at least let me know what's going on.

Tbh the on-site is further away and pays less. If this was any other scenario, I'd be withdrawing my application. After all, not having another HR person to hand things off to if the first one gets sick isn't a good first impression of the management.

Ah well, I did indicate I have a 2nd round

I wouldn't make any accommodations like this until you've got the offer in hand and you know the time frame the other company needs you to respond in. No need to jump the gun on any of this, just see how it all plays out.

Yeah I see where you're coming from. I'm just thinking that pouring a lot of energy into solving this problem before it's fully happened might detract from your interview prep or something. But don't take my advice if it doesn't work for you!

Anyone else the last to be informed about ANYTHING at their site? I am only a second year SPED teacher and my eyes are already wide open to the fact that admin and Gen Ed teachers so often fail to inform me about important things regarding the grade levels I teach and other school events. Then I’m left scrambling to inform my students and parents of essential information, and I’m embarrassed! My aides also look at me like why don’t you know this? Aggravating.
