... and speak to the boss.

One in three men say their jobs are causing them to have poor mental health, according to a survey.
Mental health charity Mind carried out the research and said many men work in industries where a "macho culture" exists which may prevent them from talking about their feelings.
The charity raised concerns that many men do not feel able to speak to their bosses about the impact their job is having on their wellbeing.
Of the 15,000 employees that took part in Mind's Workplace Wellbeing Index survey, 1,763 said they are currently experiencing poor mental health.
The survey also found that men are less likely to seek help or take time off work - 43% of women said they have taken time off for poor mental health at some point in their career, compared with 29% of men.
And 31% of men said the culture in their organisation makes it possible to speak openly about their mental health problems, compared with 38% of women.
The charity said men often try to deal with problems on their own, rather than sharing them.
