So... I received horrible news today on facebook. Our group's director died suddenly last night of a heart attack leaving behind 2 young kids and a recently separated from spouse.
As a result of this sudden death there's going to be a bunch of upheaval in our group over the next several weeks and months. The deputy director will probably become the acting director and the spouse will quite plausibly be taking some time off to deal with the kids and their newly changed life situation. As a result of this, there will probably be some extra work to spread around and the potential for some additional employment/income for me....
If one were to be interested in pursuing this additional work, how long would be appropriate to wait before pursuing it? Presumably, I shouldn't contact the new powers that be about it until at least after the funeral. It sounds like the senior staff will be meeting on Monday to discuss contingency plans and how they're going to deal with things. Do I wait til they send out their email announcing their plan of action? What if that happens before the funeral happens? Ask anyways?

How cold does the corpse have to be before taking advantage...
