What do you do, with the 24/7 availability?
I run the regulatory operations (and publishing) group at an awesome little biotech. I also manage the information sharing between our company and our European partner (and some of our vendors).
Your job sounds ideal!
I need to add that the senior manager who reports to me (most of you know about how great he is) is someone for whom an 8-4ish schedule is very important. So it works perfectly because my group always has an onsite presence early in the day and I can be very flexible with my time. And if he's working on a project that needs to be done by close of business, I usually offer to take it over at 4:30 so that he can leave. It's so perfect that I almost can't believe it.
I'm not a morning person by nature, but Dylan woke up every day at 5:30 am until he was two years old so my sleep patterns shifted.
Holy crap. Within ten minutes of getting an email from the head of the new school that she would be "delighted" to consider me for the teaching position, I had a phone interview with the associate head and have been asked to come in for a full day of interviews on Monday the 26th. Meep!
FANTASTIC Pix! Also? Unsurprising. 'cause you're just that awesome. Drew's birthday present can be seeing you for an hour or so more a day because you won't have that hellish commute!

I like to say that I *am* a morning person - I LOVE them.
( which is why I don't want to ruin them with work!)
Kristin, that's fabulous!
Nobody here cares if I'm late. OTOH, it's rare that anyone notices either, because I get in an hour earlier than everyone else.
This is me. I love it. But, if I have to stay late, I'll stay, and if I really need to come in on weekends and holidays (it's been a few years since that last happened) I do that too. That DOES get noticed.

Awesome news! Good luck!

Terrific! Interview~ma to ya.
Well, my current job does not allow any flexibility (natch), but my old, corporate job did. As long as my dept. was covered 8:30-5:30, we were good. I had someone who liked to work 8-5 (or even 7:30-4:30) and I didn't go in until 9:30 (and would work till 7 or 8).
As a non-morning person, a school schedule kills me. Getting up at 5:30 and leaving home at 6:30 blows.
Go, Pix, on the interview!! So not surprised.
yay Kristin!
happy birthday Drew
I work varied hours. My personal feeling is that as long as I am not letting anybody down --I don't stress about it. I am currently early on thursdays but other days are more flexible.
