After preregistration I had five sections for the Spring without instructors. I was busy dealing with an adjunct who had angered all of his students and didn't address it until December.
Two faculty on maternity leave, and one adjunct not coming back, with three sections added at preregistration. What a mess.
It's been hanging over my head, through our Christmas travels, through a math conference out of town. This should be the last time that it is my responsibility, and I will not miss it. Staffing has hung over my breaks and vacations for over half my time at the university.
It's always worked out, but every new hire is a risk. We've had very bad experiences these past three years. The ones who have stayed have been good.
I'm mentally drained. Glad that it seems to be resolving.
