Well, almost. I still have papers to grade. Only none of them are actually on paper. I have all my students submit their work electronically now, using the Blackboard online program.  A nice thing about it is that you, the teacher, can see exactly when each assignment was submitted, and can grade and return them in a first-in, first-out fashion. I did some grading today, but was interrupted by minor household emergencies — a van with an engine warning light lit and a kitchen sink with a backup. Neither one of these could I actually fix myself, of course.  But they were distractions — not to mention expenses.
