I did it...I finally broached the subject of working a bit less now that things are getting quieter at work, and Jamie is arriving this Sunday Woohooooo!. Anyway, they were just great about it and said they had also been thinking...."I Said, Oh, You're sacking me?...I'll get me coat...LOL"
She said NOWAY, and that she knew it was right for me to spend time with my son, if I didn't want to spend the time with him she'd have to slap me upside the head. Anyway it worked out just great.
Sooooo as from next week I'll be working 3 days instead of 5 and probably get home earlier too....
And I can take Jamie with me and put the little bugger to work for a day here and there. Chuck reckons he can cope with him for the rest of the time......WHEW!

I seem to have had all my balls in the air for so long.....now I feel relieved. Soooooo Relieved. Eneryone is happy....

Huge Sigh!

Hugs to you all Jxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Awesome, fabulous news, J !!!
    ALL IS GOOD! Great news, all around! So glad that EVERYONE is happy, especially YOU! :-)

    Jamie will arrive very soon. House tidied, in order? His sleeping quarters set up? His favorites foods stocked in the kitchen?

    You've got the perfect job, don't you? Was meant to be...

    And, Chuck's cooperating.

    WOW.

    Thanks for sharing, J.

    Kind regards, Susan

    I can relax..........Thank you all so much for all of this..........I can't wait to see him, you're right. I'll cry when I do......what is it about airports?

    Is it because they call them 'Terminals'?

    You are so lucky to have
    You are so lucky to have such an understanding boss. And I'll bet you're not going to miss those 2 days. You sound happy J and I can't say just how wonderful that is. This is indeed a bright era that will keep you going for a long time. Can't wait for your son to get here, you are just going to be beside yourself. Hope you all have a hoot!!

    Give your Jamie a big hug from all of us and let him know how much you brighten our lives here. Have a wonderful summer with him and yes, put him to work, it's good for him!
    I will certainly understand if we don't hear from you the first few days! But please, keep us posted (and throw in a joke here and there too!)
    You can now put one of those balls away
    Have a great time!

    Darn right!!
    Darn right it was worth it!! at least for me anyway. I will take all the positives from this I can get because I'm betting if I look hard enough I will find that more good than not came out of this experience!! Enjoy your summer with your son, you absolutely deserve it! :) Pammy
