Rachel will be taking maternity leave. I will have to run the office by myself. I've done it before, but it's hard. In part, it's hard because Rachel does things everyday that I USED to do everyday, but now do only rarely. Do you know how much longer it takes to set a margin or change a printer cartridge when you don't do it on a regular basis? Plus, my work is not only NOT going away; it's also more important so that I make enough money to cover the office bills while I'm on maternity leave myself. I get the most work done on days when I run out to a coffeeshop and work there all day. That's not a real possibility on a regular basis when you are the person opening the office and answering the phone. I'm very reliant on Rachel, and therfore very nervous.
On the other hand, I can't wait to meet my new Godchild!
Etcetera.

Um, maybe you've talked about this already, but would Wendy be willing to come in and open up and answer the phones for you a couple days a week? She could work on some school stuff while she's there...maybe not do the paperwork but just be there in case an emergency comes in. Other than that, just have your office calls forwarded to your cell phone and put a sign on the door with a number they can reach you at when you are out of the office. I'm sure one or two days out of the office at a coffeeshop won't hurt that much...right? :)
