Get the Alabama shortcut mug.The inability to care about your job or that of your co-workers when your departure from your place of employment is imminent. Symptoms include some or all of the following: coming in late; making excuses to leave early; an ever-lengthening lunch hour; cleaning your desk weeks or even months in advance of said departure; treating co-workers like crap because you are leaving and they are staying; telling everyone and anyone who does or does not care about the details or the new job.

Get the Short Timers Disease mug.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.

Get the sell short mug.This phrase comes from cricket terminology. In cricket, a shortball is a fast, rising delivery that causes discomfort to the batsman, and can sometimes result in an injury from being struck by the ball.
In social situations, a short ball can be most loosely defined as anything that causes annoyance, discomfort, or rejection.
Sometimes, when saying "Shortball!', people use an accompanying hand action as if to fend the ball away from their chin, similar to a batsman in cricket. Experienced shortballers sometimes only perform the hand action without saying the word, or just abbreviate the phrase to "Short!"
