The Apprentice

Have you had an apprentice? I did. Just a while ago, and she was very attentive.

It's easy to get drunk on power and easier to abuse it. So I restrained myself and made a very great example for my soon-to-be-replacement. In fact, I taught her everything there is to know about my job and how to do it very well.

It's quite impossible to show her all of the things that I've done and what she might be working on next, so I just zipped my whole folder and sent it to her. I figured that if she can sort my files out, then she'd do a great job tying all the loose ends I might leave behind.

That is, if I'm allowed to anyway.

My tasks these days usually is to finish everything left undone, close open activities, and bum around while I wait for more tasks to come. And since I'll be leaving soon, I advised her that she should write down every question she could think of before I leave, or it'll be unanswered forevermore.

So far she doesn't have any questions, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing.
