AsK Annie! End of the line?
•My job´s getting me down more and more every day! I spend more time at the office than I do at home and I have less time to spend with my family and friends. Of all the people I know. I`m the one who works the most hours and I`m also the one who has the fewest holidays! And now my boss has asked me to work on Saturdays as well! I`m already doing more than I want to, but if I say no, I`II lose my job. What should I do?

• Try talking to your boss. Maybe you can negociate to work fewer hours during the week? Or get more holidays to make up for the extra work? If your boss won`t listen to sense, then you need to decide what matters most to you, your job or your personal life.
