Context: I was hoping to go on vacation this summer but could not get the time off.
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for the work hours, but bummed that I can't get time off.
Speaker 2: Sorry to hear that. Maybe you can talk with your boss about changing the schedule a bit.
Speaker 1: Well, I've worked without a break for the last 3 years, I just want to get away abit.
Speaker 2: Wow, that is a long time! That shows how dedicated you are to your job, and that you deserve some time off!
Speaker 1: Right! I'd like to go lay on a beach, or even just the next town over at this point.
