I confess that I'm into the second week of my sabbatical from work, and it's amazing.  First, it's amazing that I got this "sabbatical thing" to work, taking two months off work (unpaid, technically) to write AND requesting financial support from my agency (I received a merit bonus that makes up about half of my pay.)  Second it's amazing that I ( Read more... )
