Well, I let my boss know today that I will only be working until Easter. Phew! I feel a bit like a jerk because I am taking a full 8 weeks before my due date but this time round, I am not about to try and be a hero. Today was a good day to do it because I was quite annoyed with them (them being my two bosses-I work both cash and lending, so therefore get to answer to two managers, cover two schedules and attempt to be two people at the same time.) I would like to think that things at work are give-and-take when it comes to scheduling so when they asked me to work late a few (more than a few) nights in February and March I said “no problem”. I only said “no” to one out of the 9 days they had requested. However I did ask for ONE, count em, ONE day off and they would not give it to me. I said, “well if not this day how about this day?” No. I am beside myself. I am trying to set boundaries however, when the situation unfolds as such, what is one to do?

I am off to Red Deer tomorrow for some training which will be a nice break from the Branch. Jakob learned “sous-sous” (I thought this word would come sooner as he is a little obsessed with it) and seems to be a little less whiny (cross our fingers) so it may in part have been from being sick, or the fact that I don’t think he is connecting with his babysitter these days (Our “regular” is still away, so her daughter is doing this last week until she gets back)
