Otherwise it was a pretty busy--not always successful--day. For instance, I realized I mailed a ton of documents without the form that ought to have accompanied it. [FacePalm]. And while I'm not teaching on sabbatical, I've stayed involved with student research--about ten of those projects are going to be presented soon, so each one is a separate saga of hard work and happiness.
The work day culminated in a department-wide meeting. I love that our chair has normalized remote attendance--they don't even ask if anyone needs a remote link, they just go ahead and arrange one, and every time there are a handful of us on it. This feels like a radical shift in inclusivity.
I can't be on a sunset beach with puppies, but at least I work with some good people.

I think we've learned a lot of things really don't need to be in person.
Do you have someone who can help with making sabbatical ground rules?
StephLove--I do hope we remember this post pandemic.
Gillian--It's a bit too late for that; ha. Our term ends in three weeks.
