Vacation

I finally got up the nerve to ask my boss for my vacation pay. I don't plan on taking a vacation this year. I really just need the money. I was going to ask him last week but I lost the nerve and finally today after going over in my head for 8 hours just asked him. He said to talk to him in the morning.
We had three guys come in today for the job opening. None of them have a license. How can you survive without one?
