I started back to work this past week. Granted, I'm working from home for the month of April, but it's work nonetheless. I had my misgivings about going back because, if you remember, this job--while a great opportunity--was sort of driving me nutso before I went on maternity leave. I was working part-time but they really needed a full-time person. Or three. So the thought of jumping back into that craziness was not appealing. Don't get me wrong: I want to work (part-time), think this company is very cool and has amazing potential, but coming home stressed and in tears was not something I could continue to do, particularly with a new baby on board.
I have a new boss who started the same day I went back to work (last Monday). Turns out he's great. He is a true marketer at heart. Not just a sales person or ops person doing marketing on the side. He gets it. He wants to hire two more people. Love.
I am excited to be back. It's nice to be in the mix of things again, using my brain in a non-mom capacity and having the flexibility to work part-time and be home part-time. And like I said, the company is way cool (check out tabbedout.com if you want to see where I spend these 20 hours a week). But, ask me how I feel in another month when I have to go into the office and leave Evelyn in someone else's care. NOT looking forward to that.
