It’s. Its’. Even Its’s. I know that a native speaker doesn’t even see these, but for a second-language speaker it’s a nuisance, it really breaks the flow of reading.
Next year I’m taking a sabbatical, and I really wish I could go on part-time, later on. Right now I like my job, but my interests are much more on the outside. But I am very very lucky because money is not a big problem. I worked for 21 years, and always loved it - still loving it.
