Did she work under that one long-time mayor of Constanta who was super weird?

No, she worked as an IT director for the region-wide county council, not the municipal government.

I don't think I saw Shhaideh mentioned anywhere on the lists of potential PMs before and after the election. Needless to say, she's a surprising choice that is bound to cause some consternation in the PSD.  She's an administrator, who's never held a directly elected position, and while she's apparently been a competent project manager, nobody is seeing her as anything other than a pawn for Dragnea. He was witness ('best man') to her second marriage to a Syrian engineer working for the county government and her appointment as minister was seen as a sign of Dragnea prevailing over Ponta in the PSD internal battles. Ponta's faction is definitely unhappy with this choice from what I gather.

Iohannis rejects Shhaideh! Major political crisis now. PSD and ALDE contemplates suspending the President.

Romania should go to full Parliamentarism (head of state elected by Parliament) system or to full Presidentialism. Current system is unworkable, unless President gets to be elected along or sometime before Parliamentary election (and with a different party system, as coalitions usually split).
But it would be interesting that a country gets to have head of state and head of government by ethnic minorities.

There's always the break-glass-in-case-of-emergency scenario of brining back the monarchy with a Parliamentary system. Romania's current political system was basically designed in its entirety by the Soviet Union and Communist Party of Romania. It makes sense why it wouldn't a) carry as much legitimacy as another system and b) lend itself to good governance.
