Wanting to File a Long Leave from work

Tweet

Right after being sick for almost three days and had one absence from work last Monday, I was back on my feet on Tuesday, ready to work again! I have a lot on my plate lately and I need to take good care of them. There is no one else to take over because I am the lead of some activities. I was welcomed with a series of meetings and the implementation of some projects this week. While I was at the meeting with my Big Boss, I asked him if I could file a long leave next week just to get the rest I feel I need. He only chuckled because he knew that he needs me that much. When I told him that I have not fully recovered yet adding more drama to my request, he even made a joke that I needed to get a check-up because I might carry the virus that has been spreading right now. Knowing him as a joker, I never felt offended. We just both laughed together. But on a serious note, he told me that if I feel that I really need it, he won't be having second thoughts of granting it but not this week!
