I need advice!

[district12ravenclaw]

I could use some work advice, ladies! Last week, when I was at work, my boss asked me when I thought my last day of work might be. I hadn't really thought too much about it, and she tends to want answers on the spot, but I'm having a really hard time picking a time to do it. They're already interviewing for my replacement, have a strong contender in the running, and want to be able to give her a starting date. I'm afraid that if I pick a date that's too soon, I'll just be sitting around doing nothing. I don't necessarily have a problem with that, especially since I do that a lot already since I'm not working every day, and I've already started to notice that it's difficult to work these 8-10 hour days when I spend half of those hours on my feet. On the other hand, if I pick a date that's too late, I'm afraid that I'll be committing to a date that's too tough for me to make it to. I asked Steve for some advice, and he told me that it was up to me, so he was basically no help. One of my friends suggested that we ask my replacement when it would be most convenient for her to start, therefore taking the pressure off of me to give them a date. I told Steve about it, and he thought it wasn't a good idea because he thinks I should be the one making the decision, not giving the choice to someone else. Help!

I agree with the previous posts. If stop working too soon you will drive yourself nuts. There is only so much nesting you can do. I took a 5-day weekend before Braeden was born (for 4th of July) and I almost shot myself out of boredom!

I'm typically home at least 5 days a week, so I'm actually really good with being at home. I'm so lazy :p.
