Transitions, with triggers and no wait. Please help!

What am I doing wrong cause this can't be that difficult.

I am trying to transition from one animation to another. I want the transition to happen immediately after a trigger is set but only if the animation is done playing.
Instead, it sits there and waits... I have tried checking the Has Exit Time and setting it to 0. I have tried not checking the Exit Time (yes this works but I don't want the animations to be interrupted midmotion)

The controller looks like this.


I would add idle states in between but I can't because the object needs to stay at the end of the animation and not reset to another position after the animation is done.

What am I missing?
