Dear Vicky,

I live in Aberdeen, in the north of Scotland. My family live in Cornwall, at the other end of the country. My parents are getting old now, and I really want to go and see them this Christmas. The problem is my boss. He only gives us 2 days' holiday at Christmas. It's 500 miles to go from Aberdeen to Cornwall and then 500 miles back again, and I'll be exhausted(筋疲力尽)when I get back. I want to ask for more time off, but I don't get on very well with my boss. A few months ago, he walked into the room and heard some of us saying rude things about him. Since then the atmosphere(气氛)has been very difficult.

Anxious in Aberdeen

Dear Anxious in Aberdeen,

It's obvious to me that you need to rebuild your relationship with your boss. You have hurt his feelings, and now that you need something from him. You have realized what you have done. There is only one thing to doit's time you apologized. I'm sure your boss will be relieved(宽慰的). If you explain why you need the time off, he will probably be more than happy to let you go. Good luck!

Vicky
