I am not in. A beautiful little sentence, with beautiful tiny little words. So much meaning conveyed in only eight letters! You learned how to read these words in kindergarten; why the fuck is it so hard for you to understand them now?
Beloved colleague, I am not in. I am gone, absent, missing, away. I am not there. I have left, departed, gotten out, quit the premises, removed myself to another location, withdrawn, ditched you all. No, I will not come to your meeting. I will not make arrangements. I refuse to cooperate. Do not expect me at your event. Plan to get along without me.

Excuse me for pointing this out, but you are looking a little thin in this picture. Nothing but skin and bones. Obviously you needed this sabbatical to recover from the stresses. You should eat -- it's a mitzvah.
In Nigeria, the expression was: "not on seat". :-)
Hey me too! Perhaps we could invent some super intensive committee that we are VERY busy with ALL the time. For instance, in response to all the stupid crap I keep getting asked to attend I'll just say "so sorry, me and Angry Professor have our colloquium that day." Yep, that's it. Remember, next week we have a full schedule of sleep and beer drinking.
Yes! WTF do they think "sabbatical" means, anyway? Sad that people with so many letters after their names have such a hard time grasping the meaning of four little words. [sigh]
But you'll be at our meeting at 8am on Monday, right?
Dear AP: As I could not find an email address for you I'm writing here. 1) having spent last week in a State Historical Society *RETREAT* (not far enough, clearly) I would like to join you; 2) Just read about Angry Dog and I send a virtual hug and a mammoth "KUDOS" for your loving care. Now then - as you were.
It is amazing how much someone's "look" changes when they replace glasses with contacts. But you should have kept the hat to protect your eyes from UV rays.
