Oh hmm I did say mid December we'd start to think about you going back to work. Do you know what your hours will be yet? Is there anyone around that can come grab one or two tests if needed? Or, can Eddie come with you to work? Lol some places it's an option, I never know
The good part about my hours is that I'm teaching only one class, two days/week: W/Fri 3:30-5.00. That part is easy and I've requested that accommodation because of medications and giving insulin. I'm a professor of critical animall studies (which is not about using animals for anything but rather advocating for them) and so I'm able to argue that companion animals are as much family as anyone else...
Anyway, the teaching hours not bad; it's the
infernal committee meetings. Some of them are regularly scheduled but others arise with regards different areas of need (graduate studies, curriculum, departmental, faculty). These I can figure out more or less, too. I have graduate students too and have to tend to them and to thesis defences, etc.
My concern is about
sleep. I also have to be with it to prepare lectures and to work on my own research and deadlines are involved. That's the nutshell...
I think, for the most part, I can still swing TR as long as Eddie doesn't throw me too many curveballs.
Anyway, Wendy advised holding the dose. Except for one meeting, which will be online, I can keep an eye on Eddie tomorrow. I'm also gradually moving his Pred a little earlier.
Thank you, Melissa and Wendy.
