solving work issues

right, well, after the whole work issues at the beginning of the week, i've finally clarified what's going on.

i talked to my boss this morning. i wanted to know exactly how he saw this, because obviously, i can't both teach 25 hours and week (and plan!) and take on the account manager position in March. he realised that. but there was no rush, he said. what he envisaged was that i'd only officially start the other position in, say, July. as far as he was concerned, the position was mine and he was flexible about when i'd start. if i felt like starting now, on top of everything else, that'd be fine, but really, things could easily wait till about April, and then it would be a slow start anyway. he'd thought about it and come to the conclusion that i probably wouldn't work more than about 10 hours a week if we kept the same number of customers, so it'd be doable when i had less hours in the summer, and then we'd see how things went.

i'm so relieved! i thought maybe he'd give someone else the job, and that was what really worried me, as i really want to take this opportunity to do something else than teach. so this is good. i've waited this long, i'll get there eventually.
