It's kind of a funny situation. I'm a teacher and am a mentor this year for someone who is filling in for a maternity leave. Her maternity leave ends in January and I told my mentoree(?) that my position would be open in March (as a maternity leave position, of course). She wants to apply for it and I'm all for it, of course, but I was waiting until after the anatomy scan to go forward in talking to HR about it. I then need to write a letter to the board requesting the mat. leave. Anyway, she keeps on texting me and is so eager about it. It's a short work week and I honestly don't know if I will have time. I feel badly but she may have to wait another week or so.
