i quit.....

yep you heard right. i quit my job. i am now officially a stay at home mom. (at least for the near term).

i am really happy that i get to spend more time with fenix but i am scared to death. i was unemployed on one other occasion in my adult life and it was when i quit my job to move out here to seattle with j. that was scary but this situation now is on a whole different level!

in any case i'm so thankful that i have such a wonderful husband that works really hard so that i can be in the position to take more time off. i do not have the words to express how appreciative i am.

w00t!

i just finalized the conditions of my maternity leave and post leave work schedule.

i will be off on maternity leave for 8 weeks (2 weeks @ 100% pay, 4 weeks at 50% pay, 2 weeks unpaid).
when I come back i'll be in the office 3 days p/week, working from home one day and totally off one day.
that will last for a month.
then for the following 3 months after that i will work 4 days a week in the office. i hope to re-negotiate at that time so that my 4 day p/week schedule is permanent.

i asked for a bit more time to work from home but they wouldn't budge on that. i'm just happy for what i was able to negotiate though!
