I just have to share my excitement with you over a recent decision we have made.
I have been stressing about this working full time thing for a few months. I love my job and am thankful for the blessings it has provided monetarily, and am glad for the flexibility that it has afforded so that I can work an early shift and be back by 3 in the afternoon to spend the rest of the day with Adrianna. But even with all that, I have been feeling a lot of guilt about leaving Adrianna so much and feeling like I am missing out on her growing up. I didn’t want to quit entirely either because, like I said before, I love my job. So, with Greg’s encouragement and support and after doing some praying about it, I decided to simply ask my boss if I could go back to part time.
And my boss said YES! I have to admit that I was very surprised. I don’t have any benefits (I am on Greg’s plan) so that isn’t an issue AND I will get to keep my 401K. So starting soon, I will be working 3 days a week for a total of 20 hours. I am on cloud 9. I think that will be perfect and am SO glad I asked.
I cannot quit smiling. 😀
Amber, that’s wonderful! I’m so glad for you. I’m smiling too. 🙂
What will your hours be?
YAY! Never hurts to ask!! You can’t beat getting to spend more time with your baby! 🙂
Amber, that’s great news! Way to be brave–it paid off! I’m so glad for you. When does the change happen?
They say I can start the change whenever I want. I am thinking about starting Monday. As for my hours, I haven’t decided for sure how I want to split them up over the three days yet (or even which three days I will be choosing.)
I am SO glad I asked. I am very excited about more time with Adrianna.
I was just reading something about how many women in the workplace often don’t get things because they don’t ask for them. You asked–and you got it! Yay!
