environmental depression (the other kind)

I've been interviewing candidates to replace me ... its a very creepy feeling. This is a person who will be doing my job - their way - starting next month. And interacting with my colleagues - their way. I'm visualizing this person sitting at my desk, sending notes to my secretary.

After I provide a brief period of training, I'm out of the country and out of touch and it won't matter to me how my successor does his/her job, gets along with the others, or anything else. That's another part of the creepiness. People shouldn't be allowed to make decisions about things where they have no stake in the outcome.
