Conscience

I'm having trouble letting things go at my job on my last week. I keep thinking: "What's the best thing for this particular issue for the future?" or "What should I do with this so that it's taken care of the next time?" and then I try to remind myself: "NOT MY PROBLEM!" but I just can't let go.

I find myself wishing that the interim person I'm training would go do something else for a bit so I can get "my work" done - what is wrong with me? It's my last week, I'm covering for my co-worker as a final favor (this week's vacation may be the last vacation she takes...forever) and part of me thinks they should just be happy I show up, period.

I should be taking long lunches, calling friends & family, napping, painting my toenails! Instead I'm postponing my lunch, following up on phone calls, organizing, and updating the training manual (<-- which is a Labor of Love, let me tell you!).

The bitch of having a conscience = even if you have delinquent ideas, you can't convince yourself to go through with 'em.
