Stay tuned!
Finally got a chance to talk to my boss. Basically, he hasn't had time to sort his brain out because of what is happening. His dad couldn't breath (he had a surgery last Friday putting in a pacemaker) and was rushed back to the hospital today. Poor guy is 89! My boss is supposed to be going away next week... So he asked me to at least stay for an extra week and let him think about things. I just told him I'd be going on leave in 3 1/2 months and would have asked him to let me try working from home after that. The decision just came 3 1/2 months sooner because of what happened with that ASSociate. He seems to get and understand my points. We'll see.
