talked to HR today. i left her a message 3 weeks ago and she never returned my phone call. well, at least she apologized.
my due date being some time between Dec 4 and Dec 9, i decided i'm gonna start my leave on Nov 30. apparently it has to begin on a monday, so that's what i will do. perhaps it's cutting it a bit close, but i'm also taking the 3 weeks of vacay that i have saved up leading up to Nov 30. so basically i only need to work a week or so in Nov and then i'll be done!
i love working for the U of C and the awesome benefits we get. even then, i'm already eager to go back to work (yeah, i know... i'm still working) and doubt i'll take the full year. i don't think financially we can manage that anyway. jesse's gotta go to school for his last year of plumbing and so he too will be in EI for 2 months. we have to balance things out so we can still put food on the table and pay our mortagage on time.
so as it stands, i think i'd like to go back in about September. maybe sooner, maybe later - i guess it all depends on how i feel at the time and what mom wants to do in terms of her work. i'm hoping she retires for good so she can watch the baby full-time, but that's rather selfish of me, isn't it?
