Well, spoke to my boss this morning. Advised him that I’d be happier to go part time rather than lose my job entirely and just had a general chat (he’s a friendly guy and is happy to talk the **** as it were).

Said that he’d definitely take it into consideration and asked a number of questions which gave me the impression he was taking it seriously.

Buck doesn’t stop with him on the overall decision… but it gave me some piece of mind.

Said that I should still take my holiday as I’ll be in on Monday and he should have an answer for me by then.
