Bran: Has the boss accepted your request?
Joe: He's thinking about it.
Bran: So you still don't know what to do?
Joe: Exactly.
Bran: Not good.
Joe: Are you going to plead with him again?
Bran: If I don't get the answer today, I guess I will have no other choice.
Joe: Have you got any strategy?
Bran: Have you ever had any strategy when it comes to the boss?
Joe: You're right. No approach is good enough.
Bran: I just need to wait. Till tomorrow. Then I'll act .
Joe: Keep my fingers crossed for you :-)
Bran: Thanks, man :-)
Joe: I really think that your request is well-grounded. You have every right to ask for some free days. This company is not your whole world. You need a break, take it.
Bran: Well, you understand it, a few other people understand it. I need some understanding from the top too. And here is the problem.
Joe: That sucks. 
Bran: As hell.
Joe: Anyway, if you get the decision, whatever it is, let me know.
Bran: OK. Thanks for the support.
Joe: Next time I will need your support and I'm sure you'll be there for me too :-)
Bran: As always.
Joe: Exactly. Take care!
Bran: Cheers!
Bran asked his boss for some free days, but he hasn't got any answer yet. Joe believes Bran's request should be satisfied.
