I posted about this last week :

reminds me of the time I went on sabbatical just around the timeframe of the annual reviews.

I went into the meeting with my manager, let him know I fixed the automations I committed to fixing, and that I wasn’t coming back after my holiday, and that I was going on a sabbatical. His face was blank, silent and still for a bit, and felt like in his mind he had a stack of paper he was going to talk about, which he then threw into the air.

Felt good man.
