I Know, I Know...
Where to start? There have been no postings because of my crankiness due to various factors....
Okay, I lied. Well, it isn't actually a lie but I do have more than 20 days left at work. (I'll get back to this.) Why, you may ask... Because the jack-asses who made us an offer on our house pulled out! Let's start off by pointing out that I live in an 1870s Mansard roof, Victorian home. Apparently they were not ready for the responsibilities for home ownership. They actually thought they would have to replace all the old windows because some were new and some were old (all of them do work). They're called brand new storm windows people! They also were not sure they could handle the pressure of changing the filter in the forced-air heating system. Then you better remain renters because you should change those things regularly wherever you live. There were of course other small items they were freaking about related to the fact that the house is old. Let me repeat: I live in an 1870s Mansard roof, Victorian home! It's one of things most people notice before they even come inside.
Back to "work." Since my house is not sold, it makes no sense for me and my 100-pound dog to join my husband in his studio apartment in Washington, DC. Although it might be amusing for 7 or 8 minutes, odds are only one mammal would be living by the 2nd day of this arrangement.
Anyway, I continue to "work," between conducting interviews for my replacement. Not sure how I got suckered into that job. The list of projects that my "library" would like me to complete gets longer as the days pass. I'm thinking of taking my nameplate off my door, keeping it closed, and not returning e- and voice-mails. Perhaps that's a project for next week. Let's see, I gave my notice August 3 and no one bothered to post the position until September 27th-ish. This place is lightening-quick. Jill gave notice before me and they haven't replaced her either. (That is a story for another day.)
Good news is a matter of perspective, and from mine, I do have a small piece. I will be working 4-day weeks until I leave this place, and some weeks I will only show up 3 days. Hey, it's something.
Other contributions to my general crankiness as of late are sure to follow. Check back soon!
