"Trump Calling Himself the 'Chosen One' Wasn't Even the Most Insane Moment of His Unhinged Rant" - Yesterday

I've always been the only person who did my particular job and while of course not irreplaceable, it would be a hardship on whoever had to muck around trying to figure the job out while they search for a replacement. And yeah, that resume thing factored in as well.
