Leaving work yesterday felt a little strange, knowing I wouldn't be back for a while. It felt very final as I turned off my computer, pushed in my chair, shut off the light and closed the door. I purposely left without saying goodbye to anyone, merely enabling the Out of Office memo on my email and changing my voicemail message. I left a message on the whiteboard next to my office that said I was on sabbatical and would return July 1, 2009. Right now, that seems a very long ways away.
Today, I am in the midst of downloading Captivate onto my laptop computer. I had wanted to do this previously but Adobe was having issues and wouldn't allow any downloads without purchase until July 1, due to a glitch in the trial periods. In any case, I am now getting my laptop prepared so that I can do the bulk of my project on it.
One of the things I think is so fantastic about being on sabbatical is that you can work on your project wherever you may be. We'll be taking advantage of that flexibility and exploring a lot of national parks this summer, starting in a week or so. I figure I can get work done both while we're driving and once we stop each night. I'm a little paranoid about losing work done while on the road so I'll be backing things up on multiple drives, just in case.
Okay, it looks like Captivate finished downloading. Now to get it installed and working.
