"The Good Times Are Killing Me"

My boss announced that she's leaving midway though the summer. Part of it is the possibility of her husband moving midway through the next school year, and part of it is exhaustion.

This job wears people to the bone. The burnout rate is ridiculous, though it's better this year than last (when we had 9 of our 22 staff leave, including the director).

Just three and a half days to go, then I get a break. It's all I can do to hold off panic and bolt myself. I hate these moments of self-doubt.

In other news, the computer at my desk here in the classroom is wheezing like an asthmatic running a marathon at 7,000 ft. elevation. It's a bad scene, yo.
