Rob's boss told him to take most of today off. Thank goodness. I was out with the two kids, since staying out of the house is a good sanity saver, and he rescued a lot of the housework. We may cope after all. I think they may have realised that he hit burnout. I believe but am not certain that he made a potentially expensive mistake yesterday due to exhaustion.

I'd like to remind all y'all that BEFORE we had Emer, Rob was so tired he succumbed to a stomach virus which neither my pregnancy immunocompromised self nor me almost elderly mother caught as severely as he did. In fact, mother and toddler didn't get it at all; Rob got it badly enough to go to A&E, and I got it pretty mildly.

Then after that he had minimal paternity leave, interrupted, and lots of overtime.

It's amazing he hasn't accidentally cut off all their customers and caused little electrical fires in all their hosted servers. Catching a little porn virus is minor.
