Schedules

Oct-30 » Filed Under: Sweet News » Posted by: Todd

Both Julie and I are in the midst of positive changes at work. She has been trying to negotiate a part-time schedule since early summer and she finally got approval from her bosses for an 80% appointment. This might not sound like much of a reduction, but her schedule will change seasonally, meaning some times she will be working 20 hours a week and other times (during recruiting season) she will be full-time. As soon as her co-worker comes back from paternity leave she will begin a 20 hour/week stretch. We're really happy about this, especially since we will be able to keep Anna and Cooper in their current daycare, which we (and they) love. If she had found another part-time opportunity (less than 80%) we likely would have had to move them to someplace that offered less-than-full-time schedules. Congrats Julie!

It just so happens that the day her appointment becomes effective I will be assuming a new position as well. Our Communications office was recently reorganized and as a result I'll be assuming the newly created position of Assistant Director of Advanced Media. Not sure what that title means? Me neither, but I'm looking forward to the change. Even though this is pretty much a zero-sum change for us financially, it feels like we are coming out way ahead.
