I'm Going to Stick My Rant on Your Lawn Sign

Morning! You know that moment when you realize that planning ahead is a waste of time.... I gave my notice 3 months ago so there is plenty of time to find a replacement. Turns out they didn't look for anyone so now I am stuck trying to train someone who: 

1) doesn't want to do my job i.e "can you just teach me the basic things so I don't have to remember extra things I won't be needing later?"

2) cannot do my job  i.e. " how do you do feedback sessions with students, how do you admit them? Can someone else do it cause I am not comfortable? Can the Dean do it?" 

3) is slow as a turtle and has no sense of urgency ...kill me now! 

 

I hate that I spent one year building a program that now will be just a mess because "they didn't think I was ACTUALLY going to leave" (apparently saying it a number of times while also interviewing elsewhere is not a good enough sign). 

 

Rant over. 

Do you have the references already?

If so, you can leave them.

Or just say, that you can't stay, because you'll loose your new job.

IMO they can't stop you from leaving, just because they though you were kidding about your leaving.

That sucks, J-Commie-Bonette, but you did your part, oj tak.

Perhaps quit trying to teach that pig to sing, and instead put together a Position Manual, oj tak.

In it, list things large & small that someone in that position should do for effectiveness & success, oj tak.

That way, after the successor washes out, no one will be phoning you in a panic, oj nie.

Just refer everyone to the Manual, si ma'am.

 

Done that. If they do call then they will get no answer from me. Sadly (for them), I will be too busy. Just frustrating is all

Oh no they are not trying to make me stay just don't have anyone to take over - no Program Director, no admin no nothing. I had both of those roles and now they are scrambling to get two people to replace me with nobody to continue the job. I am leaving at the end of this week and there is nothing to be done.

And that's all, I guess

Honestly, not your problem, it's theirs.  Don't worry about it.

And we gave pint-sized Asia a big ol' Texas hug, oj tak.

The Asia-rentalmobile by that time was crammed so full that the Commie-babes themselves almost couldn't fit it, oj nie.

Accordingly, there was no room for pre-owned toilet seats, oj sigh.

We ingeniously substituted key rings with little POTSs on them, brilliant we man.

We now understand that the entire population of Wroclawcyzkskzowcszyk is envious and wants one, oj tak.

What Niki-B. says, oh well man.

Hard to witness, or know, that others are letting your creations rot, sigh man.

However, they'll eventually find a way.  You did your part, si ma'am.

Mini-Bone officially turned Many years old for the Many'th (2+2th) time on Tues., growing wee man.

He wanted to go to Langosta Roja (Red Lobster), favorite place besides Burger King for wee man.

He inspected and commented at length on the occupants of the lobster tank, Age of Aquarium man.

 

Employee offered to take a lobster out of the tank for him, see man.

Mini-B. agreed, wee man.

Lobster wagged tail and reached out with (bound) claws, menacing or hungry crustacean man.

Mini-B. didn't buy our explanation that wag-tailing lobsters were friendly, no man.

Mini-B. urgently asked employee to put lobster back, too close for wee comfort man.

Mini-B. then resumed detailed observation of safely re-tanked lobsters, wee composure regained man.

 

We ordered blackened tilapia with baby potatoes and green beans, ingest we man.

Mrs. T-B. ordered shrimp tacos, ingest she man.

Mini-B. ordered chicken fingers with broccoli, ingest wee man.

 

At end, waitress brought plate of ice cream/whipped cream for Mini-B., birthday surprise man.

"Happy Birthday" was scrawled in chocolate around plate perimeter, nice touch man.

Waitress, hostess, & other chica sang Happy Birthday to Mini-B., delighted wee man.

A nice time was had by all, we she wee man.

 

Red Lobster is surely more pleasant to visit on an early weeknight than late-week or weekends, observation man.

I don't either. All I can say is - I sure wake up when my father snores next door or my dog is crying so I let her sleep in bed with me That might be true for anyone though.
