Annual Leave

Our general Manager insisted we all use up our annual leave by the end of November.
Having already used five days last month, I still have three more days and I have been thinking of taking them during this week as this is the last week of November.If I do not take them before Friday this week, I am no longer entitled to them. As planned, I am going to submit my application on Monday (today) or Tuesday so that I can be off work from Wendesday through Friday. Unfortunately, Nancy, whose signature is a must to make my application form approved by general manager, is on sick leave and will not be back on her post until Thursday. Seems like I have missed a chance in a million.
Jesus, is there anything I can do to help myself out?
