I'm in charge of all our integrations. Creating, deploying, maintaining, supporting, everything.
I've quit.
I am alarmed at the lack of worry about that amongst the key people here.
They got a quote from the vendor for the software we use to maintain things after I leave, it was a lot more than they're paying me.
That came as a surprise to them.
Next they sent up an admin user to find out what she needed to take over the role from me.
I told her.
She went away again.
They have also sent a PM to produce a handover document, she spent a few hours with me going through all the things I do. Now she is expecting a document with a list of tasks that I do, and a document to tell someone how to do it.
They don 't seem to understand that you actually need skills and knowledge and lots of experience to do this job.
I find it insulting.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I think it's a modern phenomenon.
15 years ago I found that most users, while being perhaps IT illiterate, at least respected the knowledge and experience a professional had.
Now I find people using buzzwords all the time, buying in software that has huge hidden costs and then look down at me when I try and explain the time required to wire together two systems.
I would never pretend to understand the workings of my car and defer to mechanics with great respect.

Someone asked me to transfer all I did to a junior developer and a LAMP stack developer in 6 weeks. When I explained that "transfering 20+ years of experience and knowledge in 6 weeks is not possible" he got a bit miffed and stated that he did not expect me to do a "brain download" - well what does he flippin' expect
You have my sympathy

Just tell them you'll cast the chicken guts and see what happens.
Hopefully they'll be so weirded out they won't use the phrase again.

Because she couldn't control her pupils

Sent this joke to one of my colleagues on Skype.
"haha", she replied

This isn't funny...
I once knew a teacher who couldn't control her pupils...
The stress greatly affected her health and she eventually had a heart attack in a restaurant, and unfortunately, not even all the letters in the alphabet could save her...

That's sad. Her boyfriend had already dumped her because he thought she was seeing someone else!

No. But some parts of your thinking are correct.

Damn.
Is it the answer to the FSOW OTD instead?

Nope, sorry not that either. Different letter counts and all.

Didn't think it would be, but it was a better guess than anything else I'd tried...
