Short Timers Disease

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.

Man does Steve has a bad case of Short Timers Disease.
