He waits for you to finish, then pulls a sheet of paper out of a drawer. It is a calendar of sorts which marks the non-national holiday days, as well as the two sick days, you have had off of work since your contract began. The total is seven. He then points out that your contract gives you ten days, outside of national holidays. This leaves you with three days, not enough for a full week. He then returns to his original argument that he can't justify closing the school for that long. The students parents would think it had closed and take their children to a different school. He then offers you the same thing as before; two days, one on each side of a weekend. You:

accept the reasoning and the offer.

ask for all three days at once.

get angry about having your vacation days taken from you without your knowledge.
