The Office - Asking for Time Off

The Office - Asking for Time Off(0027)

A:	Mr. McKenna, do you have a second? I need to talk to you about something.

B:	Sure, Liv, what can I do for you?

A:	Well, I was just wondering... you see, I know I've used up all my vacation days this year, but my sister is getting married, and the wedding is overseas, and, well...

B:	You wanna take some time off, is that right?

A:	Well, sir, I was just hoping that I might be able to take some unpaid leave this year.

B:	What dates are you planning on taking off? I'll need at least two months notice, so that I can plan for your absence.

A:	I was thinking of taking off from September first until the thirtieth. Would you be okay with that?

B:	Well, I guess so.
