person A: Thought I was going to get a vacation this year_comma_ but not going to happen. Can't get off work.
person B: Sorry to hear that. You sound like a hard worker_comma_ which is something to be proud of_comma_ even though it's kind of wearing you out maybe. Are you able to roll the days over to next year and save them_comma_ at least?
person A: No_comma_ not really . They have to be taken by the end of the year. I might take a few days off here and there at the holidays.
person B: That's kind of a lame policy. I hope you get to use them at some point_comma_ because they should be worth something. If you're just physically unable to because of the job and its demands_comma_ and then they end up passing you by_comma_ that doesn't seem fair. I hope you get to relax during the holidays_comma_ then.
person A: Thanks. Hope you have a great summer or what is left of it anyway!
