As the birth-date is getting closer and closer, I am technically in the paternity time that I have booked at work! I had to book a 2 week window of paternity time in the annual leave diary, but my employers are very flexible in that I actually start my time off when we rush off to hospital, it seems.
Having said that, I am having to assume that, each evening as I leave, that I may not be back in tomorrow morning, and I have to make sure that my work is available to others in the office and that it’s in a fit state that it won’t break the build! (It’s a geeky term, if you’re that curious, I’ll explain later!)
Claire has said that she’s been working to this expectant out-of-office time for six months or so, as she’s been having to book locum pharmacists 6 months or so in advance. So, I guess she’s had a bit more time to get used to it, whereas I’ve only had it for a few days now..!
But it is quite strange in that I'm expected to not appear at work one day soon... It's a strange feeling.
