That's great to have a manager so willing to be supportive and

understanding of your RA. I hope it works out for you and the time off

is enough for you.

[ ] I have some decisions to make.......

I spoke with my manager today about the difficulty I am having

working. he asked if I thought a bit of a cut in hours would be

better for now so I can get a handle on the pain and get some good

pain managment going. I can decide between working four days a week

or going home early on the days I work normally. I am leaning toward

just working four days a week. Having the full days off would let my

body rest a bit more than just leaving early. LOL......I guess I just

made up my mind. I hope I am doing the right thing. My manager is

more than willing to help in any way he can.

Hope everyonme is well tonight and as pain free as you can be.

Sounds like you are blessed with a great manager who would allow you

try the other option if you wanted to, so your decision need not be a

final one. For now, enjoy that day off!

Hi I think your manager is super duper, and I would try less

hours, instead of going out and starting a new job. At least this

manager knows about your condition, and is willing to work with you.

The new boss might not be so generous. Take care, Tawny

Your manager sounds great.

I just cut my hours down too, (which by the way, my usually insensitive manager

was very nice about too). For me the best way to do it was to cut to 32 hours

per week, but I work 2 4 hour afternoon shifts. Those days, I don't have to be

at work until my joints feel a little better. Leaving early, I think would only

help a little.
