Federal holiday to begin the last week of employment.  So I got that going for me.  

So this week is going to be going into work and watching folks work on figuring out exactly what the fuck it is that I do.  I am not training the folks taking my place, that is the job (one that has never, ever been done) of my supervisors.  But since they seem to think that actually understanding what their employees do is secondary to spending time preparing reports to enhance their sadly limited chances of promotion and attending meetings where they learn the part line to parrot, I feel that the poor sad sack who will be inserted to the position will have to find his own way like I did.

Today is a holiday, so I need to do little or nothing.  I think that I will ponder my daily schedule for the future.  I need to implement some things so that I can prepare for the long haul of day-to-day and husband my remaining resources.  I am thinking that I will spend time writing every day like I do now, but I also think that the homely tasks of becoming more autonomous (a la Kant) will need to be inserted into the mix.
