1313.0. "Bye, friends! :^(" by SWAM2::DERY_CH () Thu Feb 13 1992 00:27

    My last day with DEC will be 2/28.  :^(  I've been working
    from home during Jan and Feb due to problems finding
    daycare for my now 4 month old son.  I asked my management
    for an extension (went up three management levels) and
    have been denied.  I'm supposed to start back at the
    office full-time in March, but since we aren't comfortable
    with the daycare providers we've interviewed, and our
    families are 3,000 miles away so they can't help, I'm
    forced to resign.  I've been with the company for
    more than eight years and hate to leave, but it's
    probably for the best in the long run.  Anyway, I
    wanted to thank all of you for all your support and
    advice during my pregnancy last year.  There were times
    I really thought I was crazy, only to be assured by
    this community that I was normal.  I haven't had time
    to write in here since coming back in January, but
    I've been reading alot and you all are great!  I'm 
    really gonna miss this source of support!!!
    
    I wish the best to all of you!

1313.1Will miss you...EMDS::CUNNINGHAMThu Feb 13 1992 07:1814
    
    Well Cherie, you must know how much I will miss you...and I know you
    will enjoy your time off with Craig...its too bad they couldn't work
    something out for you. 
    
    Hopefully (!) we'll still keep in touch by phone/mail, and keep sending
    me those pix of the munchkin!  Maybe I can bring them to the annual
    PARENTING "get-together" (if there is one?) this spring/summer!
    
    Take care, 
    My best to you, Peter, and Craig!

    Good luck Cherie, (sniff!)  Gonna miss ya!
    
    I do know how hard it is to find someone to be a good mommy substitute,
    I admire your courage to stand by your convictions, and keep your child
    as your first priority.

    I feel very sad that the company is going to let you go,
    when you obviously would rather have kept your job...but 
    I'm sure it will work out well for you and your family. 
    
    I have doubts that situations like this are good for the
    company at-large. I'm very grateful that my management gave
    me the time off that I wanted; I wish *all* employees could
    have equal access to reasonable time off.

    Cherie:
    
    I am so sorry that you could not work anything out with your
    management.  I truly am sorry to hear that working at home did not end
    up to be an option. 
    
    Best of luck.  Thank you for all of your assistance/input on my
    project.  Any parting thoughts, ideas, please send me an E-Mail.
    
    Wishing you the best!
