Nope. They don’t want me to train my replacement. They want me to do the work until she arrives. Which is fine by me–I need the money.

I’ve been extended through the end of November. I have a month to find a new job.

I can’t be of any help, unless you’re looking to move across the pond (and I’d think you were mad if you were!) but best wishes.

Um, don’t you think they will add insult to injury by having you back next week to TRAIN your replacement????

Well, Meryl, I think I can be of some help.

I do some criminal appellate work and I have a few grateful clients out there. Fifty bucks and a plane ticket and anyone who won’t hire you…we can arrange a tragic accident.

Or at the interview when they inevitably ask if there’s anything else you want to say, just murmur quietly but meaningfully, “I have a friend in…Detroit and he’s particularly interested in my being hired here.”
