I work as a trainee solicitor and I’ve been in my current department for 2 months. I had 17 days of holidays left to be used up by August 31 2022. For some reason, I’m so anxious at requesting them off because I’m scared to look lazy to my manager and colleagues. 

I requested 2 days off on 10th and 11th of May, and a week off from June 13 to 17, which have been accepted. 

I still have 10 days left and have drafted an email to my manager to request the 14th, 15th and 18th and 19th of July, and the 22nd to 26th of August. That would leave me with 1 day spare. 

For some reason, I’m way too nervous to send the email!!!!! So annoying
