Thank you for the kind words! I feel so fortunate to be appreciated by the gremlin cats in my dept. 😉 (And you're not one of my faculty, but I believe you may work at the same institution I do!)

I didn't ever expect my job of "reminding faculty to do stuff" would extend to Bluesky! 😂 (Happy to help, of course!)

Your new admin is lucky to have you! As a staff member, having a supportive supervisor to help get you acclimated (even when it's extra work for them in the beginning!) is HUGELY helpful and goes a long way. I'm sure your new admin is most appreciative!
