Now I have to go to another college for a scholarship meeting, to help my cow orker transition to a part of my job she will be taking over.

That leaves only three other parts of my job left to train someone to do.

They're very lucky, I actually have work procedures I did in case I got hit by the proverbial bus. They haven't been updated lately, but it's almost all there! Working in QA for defense contractors for so many years, I'm a stickler for written procedures.

Ahem, people, Friday is my last day!
Sounds a lot like all the training I had to do, all the "Yes, this IS a pain in the ass!" I had to do, and all the documentation I had to update and move into shared folders etc. to pass multiple job duties on to multiple people. It does make you feel pretty good about yourself when you realize all the little things you do to keep the place running. It's a huge relief, once you've done your best to hand things over, to leave it all behind and start fresh.
