| Are you looking forward to Spring Break? I anticipate a unanimous answer of “Yes”! We all deserve a chance to rest and relax next week, but are you going to take it? My conversations with colleagues this week revealed that many of you are looking forward to Spring Break not to go to the beach or do your hobbies but to catch up on work. I hope you at least get to sleep in and work in your pajamas! May your Spring Break actually include a break. ~SamanthaSamantha Croft, Ph.D.[email protected] |
