Thanks for all the support ladies! I was home Friday because my MIL decided that she was too tired to look after Alex one more day (no comment) so I stayed home, without pay, with him. At least I got to try out my Pilates dvd while he was still sleeping.

Renée, my boss is not the type you can discuss anything with, I used to work until 7PM and he is the kind that would be happy if everyone came in at even 11AM and left at midnight, with long lunches. Oh, he hasn't any kids and his wife is a CEO, so he has no idea of what it means to be a working parent and what it means to have a baby that you leave the better part of 8 hours a day five days a week with daycare. When I came back from maternity leave I had to beg them to give me part time, because otherwise I would have found another job. So they kept the girl that was my maternity replacement, and after some months moved me up to technical secretary, out of the reception, which I was super duper glad about, and I had new things to do. So now they want to move me back because they "say" they can't afford to keep the other girl on and they have already started in on wanting me to work longer hours. So "apparently" I will have to to my former job of secretary/receptionist and my current one of technical secretary, which is just flat out impossible. At the reception, seeing that about 500-600 calls come in for the 30+ people working here and go out from the bosses (I have 4 of them) and all the faxes that come in and to send out, to be protocolled and make an Acrobat copy that has to be associated with the protocoll number, take visitors to the right office or conference room, make coffee for visitors and/or bosses (while in reunion), make photocopies of everything immaginable, keep up with orders, bind reports and photocopies, and, oh yes, breathe once in awhile, I just would not have time to do much of anything else systematically like I have been doing these last 4-5 months.

I'm sorry about whining so much but this story has just got me so down, I am already looking around to find something closer to my home and Alex's daycare, maybe even full time if the hours are decent. I've already been here 7 years come July and am just fed up.

I'll let you all know how things go.

Thanks again for the support.

BTW Coolmama, I do know what it means to use the nubulizer all day long, fortunately I only have one little boy that has to do that. Last Monday I gave it to him 6 times, the day after 4 times, then twice a day until Friday. He's still kinda phlemy but at least he breathes easily. There is nothing worse than getting up at 3AM to give him medicine with that stupid slow machine because the poor baby has trouble breathing. We've made more than one night trip to er for that one. Good luck to you and your family.
