The behaviors that kick in when you are about to leave something, usually a job. There are two facets, one is that all of the little crap that you've been ignoring and tolerating starts driving you crazy. The other is the idea that you're leaving anyway so you can get away with anything. The accountant with short timer syndrome was thinking about wearing flip flops to work during his last two weeks before starting a new job. And the short timer in Ann Arbor, about to move to Buffalo had to resist the urge to strangle all of the smug half-wit aging hippies.

Military and prison adjective for describing someone nearing the end of their tour of duty, enlistment or incarceration. A short-timer is someone who has less then 90 days to serve. A Korean War veteran told me these terms were in wide use in the late 1940s; they have been in continuous wide use in the military since then. Sargeant: "Get you head out of your ass -- make something of yourself soldier."
Private (to self): "I'm short . . . I don't give a fuck." |

| 7. | Long timer | ||
|
A person who has worked in the same company or position for so long that they no longer give a crap. The company could collapse in bankruptcy all around them, and they would just shrug their shoulders and get another cup of coffee. For some, being fired or laid-off would almost be a relief. For others, they are just marking their time until retirement. Coworker1: Hey, did you hear about the error Brad caused that crashed the network this morning?
Coworker2: Yeah, I heard about it, Jen. Do you think it's serious enough for management to give him the axe? Coworker1: Maybe, but I don't think he gives a crap. I just saw him earlier playing solitaire! Coworker2: Damn Long Timer! |
