Friday is my last day working in a non-profit. Since I have little to do, except clear out my desk, I think I will waste much of my time blogging about it all.
First, I think I may be in trouble...I haven't even started my new government job, but I'm already drowning in orientation attachments. 27 attachments and some 115 pages in order to even get started...this is going to be a job of paperwork.
Second, it is a little weird to be getting pushed out by the girl who is taking my job. She is clearly ready to make lots of changes, and is clearly getting a little angry at me when I question some of her desires. I understand her youthful optimism in change, I have wanted to change many things myself...but I also understand the realities of this job. Some thing will not be able to change until the Executive Director is finally out, the E.D. claims she likes to see youth input, but in all reality she does not want most things to change. Also, I have done this long enough to have a pretty strong grasp on both youth and people who donate...But my replacement is clearly disinterested in my experience in both, so I guess I will just have to sit back and let her do as she will.
I am thrilled to get out of the hands of the Board though. The Board has started to reach a level of incompetence and blatant evil...I will have to write some last thoughts on them tomorrow. Today I will simply sigh. I am ready for a change. Only 4 more days left.
