*noddle* At this point I'm not sure just what it would take to change her mind. I suspect it's probably best to put in some time and establish my bona fides before trying to negotiate days-at-home. My semi-plan is to wait until they want me to stay late, or work on a weekend, and explain that this is not possible, but maybe if they were prepared to be flexible I'd be flexible too...

We'll see.

(Looking forwards to the weekend, but :-)
