Excuse me, Elizabeth?
Hi Terry. Come on in. Have a seat.
Thanks.
If you have a minute, I have something to ask you.
Sure, go ahead.
My sister is getting married in April, and she's having the wedding in
Banff
.

Could I get permission to take a few days off to go with the rest of my family?
How many days would you need to take off?
Well, I'd love to take a full week.
But if that's a problem, do you think it would be okay to take just three days?
I could go Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, then come back to work on Monday.
And you said this is in April?
That's right. The last week of April. Is that okay?
Yeah, the last week of April is fine. I think it'll be all right to take the full week off.
Really? Are you sure?
Yes, I don't think we'll be too busy, and no one else has that week
