My long distance boyfriend goes overseas for business last minute all the time. He just asked me if i would like to join him in HK next week (8th Nov to 13th Nov). How should I ask my boss if i can take vacation leave? Should I tell him the truth or an excuse? I'm planning on joining my bf on Wednesday to Saturday. I feel really bad to ask my boss really last minute. Haven't booked the tickets yet. Help me! I'm so stressed out. I really want to see my bf though.

I suppose you might as well tell the truth. They probably won't believe you anyway, unless it's a good one. Then again, do they deserve the truth, not personally, but the company? Going to Honk Kong seems like a once in a life opportunity. Maybe you can offer to show them the ticket, if you get an OK. Then again, what job is worth passing that one up. I'd quit and stay longer or alternatively I'll go. LOL

Just tell him you have an opportunity to take a trip and it has come up at the last minute. Let him know you will make sure all your work is caught up and (if possible) arranged for someone to cover anything unexpected which may arise in your absence. I think if this is not an habitual thing, and since its only for a few days, he'll likely say yes. If he asks for further information, tell him the truth.
