Returning to work after caring for family (update)

I am nervous about technology changes while I was away. There are 15 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I want flexible hours. What helped?

Be straightforward about the break and focus on what you bring now.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
