Razzleberry
That's FANTABULOUS NEWS! Whenever I got into a corner as you did, I always found the best approach to be open and honest - without having to go into too much detail. You were able to describe your issues in a way they could understand and made it clear your job is important to you. Not only were they able to see your courage in admitting your predicament, they saw your dedication to your job.
Way to go, Razzle. I hope this new schedule works out great for you.
