I hope they agree to help you with this, and if they do, that will confirm you are valuable to them.
Keep your chin up, because this lesson will benefit you in many ways.
I'm sure you will regard your equipment and mission with more charge and control.
Driving part time is more difficult to hone skills or have any routine.
You often get stuck with the crap runs or equipment too.
Best of luck and hope you have a Merry Christmas!
