[QUOTE="Andy, post: 200631, member: 5096"] I work four hour days. If I miss a day during the school year, I can make up the time by working two extra hours on two more days. I didn't make up time during the summer when I was paying for day care. The best way to describe my job is that I am a liason between our facility and the office that does our billing. I work at a Chemical Dependency state facility working with counties to assure that their authorization fits the services given. We have both in-patient and out-patient programs. I also work about 6 hours extra per month to process the lab and pharmacy bills for the facility. Last fall when difficult child was falling apart, I called into work to tell my supervisor that I did not know what was going on with difficult child. He would not stay at school without me in the building (mainly in his classroom) and I did not know when I could get my work done. I was so afraid that I would have to quit my job for this. My supervisor asked me to call another person - I had not known that there was a change in my supervision again. The person who was now my supervisor was from another facility so did not know me and my work ethic. So, I now have a new supervisor and I am not coming into work! YIKES! When I did make it in, he called me into his office. He was very understanding of what I was going through and stated that I have flexible hours. I am so grateful. I do however try my best to keep my posted hours so other staff know when I will be there to be available for whatever they need from my position. [/QUOTE]
