>>18244222*to part-time instead of switching to a new schedule altogether, with new roles and bosses and shiieeeet. Sad thing is, I'm kinda worried whether or not I'll be able to keep my job, since I carpool with my boss from the next town over and he's been calling it in a bunch. Something about how his ex-GF keeps threatening to spirit his kids away where they can never reach him.
My own dad (love him every day, and am twice as grateful) actually attempted suicide once, when he thought my mom had taken me and my sister away forever. My boss is an honest, hard-working, good-natured dude, so I hope things go much better for him; I think he's certainly earned it.
