As most of you know, I work at SUNY Cortland as the the Special Events Coordinator for the President's Office, coordinating social events for the President and major "special events" such as Academic Convocation, Honors Convocation and Commencement for the College. For three and 1/2 years, I have been a full-time, 12 month employee. After being home with Josh this summer for a couple of weeks (out of the office for a total of three weeks) and being able to pick-up where I left off without any stress or cause for concern, I realized that this might be something to consider for the future.
After weighing the pros and cons and really thinking about it for a few months, I pitched an idea to Josh over email about changing my professional obligation to the College. We finally had the opportunity to talk about it on the phone in late September or early October. I officially submitted the request to become an 11 month employee of the College. And on Monday, November 3, I received word that it was APPROVED and I finalized everything today - signatures and all!! I will now enjoy one month off every summer (most likely July) with Josh, but still earn the same benefits.

Love the sound of that... holiday!
