I am wishing I had asked when you were coming back. This isn't urgent, it can wait til you're back and ready to work again, but... dang it I still wish I had asked. All you said was 'after the 1st of the year' which could really mean anything. And I didn't ask because I know how busy my January is with all the overtime, and I didn't yet know if I would be able to have Friday as my day off. But now I know I do have Fridays off - so I am going to want to schedule the first friday you are back. I will wait until after 1/1 to bug you about it. There's just a lot going on in my world atm and I'm handling it fine right NOW - but once the 60+ hour weeks start I have 0 confidence in my ability to continue that.
