Oh the anxiety...(Vent - Feel free to join)
I have 3 weeks until I go out on leave. My last day of work is August 30th. We just hired someone last week to cover me while I am gone, and possibly permanently if I decide not to come back. Well it's been a week now since we offered her the job and HR still hasn't given a start date...I have no idea when I'll start training her, or if I'll have enough time to teach her everything that I do. On top of training someone to be me, I also have to write a final report for a grant, train one of my current coworkers on how to run one of my meetings, and finish up my duties as team captain for our Relay for Life team. All while losing my mind to these damn pregnancy hormones! I can barely do my job as is anymore, let alone all these other things I have to get done in the next few weeks. And I am getting no sympathy from my boss (who is the delegating type, and pretty lazy IMO). Ugh, I feel like screaming! I just got to remind myself that it's only 3 more weeks. Then I get to relax and wait to meet my daughter.
Anyone else having some anxiety or want to vent?

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
