Although there are many benefits to working as a professor, I rarely find myself willing to cancel committee meetings, classes, or (as was the case on this day) interviews unless I am so ill I cannot move. If I can get out of bed, if I have (enough of) a voice, if I am not grossly contagious, and if I can drive to campus without putting anyone in danger, I will usually power through. I was feeling pretty exhausted on this day, as I was still in recovery mode. I was confident that I wouldn't be getting anyone else ill. I kept a safe distance, used a lot of anti-bacterial gel, and opened windows to ventilate when I was in closed quarters. I simply could not reschedule my agenda for that day. So I needed to be comfortable but look passably professional. I think it worked out well enough.

Yup--pajama ninja. Sometimes you just need clothes that make you think you're at home actually taking care of yourself.
I think that's one of the hardest parts of academic life--the fact that it's usually so hard to reschedule, well, anything. Unlike being a teacher in a traditional school, it's not like we have a system of substitutes, and each class is too important to the overall syllabus. I feel your pain--I definitely mimed my way through laryngitis a few times. I hope you feel better quickly!
Oh, I love cashmere too! And when I was teaching, I definitely was the same - I'd drag myself to school, even when I was feverish, sometimes. I just felt so responsible for those kids. It's not the best thing, I realize now. When you're sick, you need to take care of yourself, Jess - not everyone else. ;)
I am completely becoming more appreciative of "loungewear" as I am getting older. Anthropologie and J.Crew make excellent non-sweatshirt looking sweatshirts that I adore. If I could spend my days in them, that'd be fantastic1
