I did it. I sent in my resignation.

It was a little wordy because I mish-mashed a little bit of what y'all told me to say with a template from Indeed and sprinkled in some extra "thank you for hiring me/please don't hate me" stuff, but here's what I sent.

quote:

Dear [BOSS(es) NAME(s)],

I hereby tender my formal resignation from [COMPANY]. My last day will be Friday, June 23, which is two weeks from tomorrow. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of this organization, and I very much appreciate all of your support and the valuable experiences I have gained here. It has been a pleasure working with all of you.

I will continue to provide whatever service I can, such as wrapping up any outstanding work, between now and my last day. Please let me know how I can help during this transition and make it as smooth as possible. I wish you all the best!


Sincerely,

I met my lady the traditional lesbian way, by dating her ex. We connected up a few months and one other partner later and we've stuck it out through international separations and rough times. We also have less traditional relationship and that helps.

Yeah take a minute to relax, it ain't a thing. I mean you did some dumb stuff--um, rather strong recommendation, don't do that again--but the likelihood that it will be worth messing with you over or that they have the juice to is low.

Go find yourself a better place to work once you've calmed down. And...yeah..don't do that again.

I got fired from being a ranger at a golf course when I was 18 for driving the cart into the woods and reading a book, which I did every day for the entire summer. I haven't been able to get a job in the past 30 years because of this horrible lack of judgement on my part!!

I worked at a movie theater when I was underage and we had the over 21 employee get cases of beer and put them in the ice machine and then once the people left we'd get blasted in the theaters, sometimes with patrons who stuck around

If you think what about the security guards they joined us regularly

When I quit they begged me to stay. I will never find a better job for the rest of my life

Oh yeah, one of my friends at that job used to just openly prepare and eat food he had just stolen on the clubhouse floor, and routinely backed his car up and loaded cases of Budweiser into his trunk after hours, which we would then go drink at a different city park. He got fired also and became a Florida Man as a result.

I haven't had to buy a golf ball once in the last 3 decades thanks to that gig at least.

Great start to a horror movie script.

Non-sequitar: Terminator 2 is on Netflix so I started watching that tonight. It still holds up really well. I think the CG in particular still works because while it looks unnatural, it's modeling an unnatural thing and so your brain doesn't go "hey that's not really a sheep/tree/buffalo/whatever."

One of my uncles lives in this town and he's a massive DIY guy. He built several extensions onto his house and a whole rear end 2-floor work shed in his yard, plus a bunch of other poo poo, and his garage has a full loving car lift.

A house with a literal cave in it totally sounds like a thing he'd gently caress with if he could afford it.

The OP of the jobs talk literally needs any job it sounds like and I don't know about his area but if you're desired job is "any" there are jobs available at least around here.

Oh no, I wasn’t referring to your’s or anyone’s post specifically, I was just sharing our experience in general about how a well-educated person with plenty of experience in retail, office, and manufacturing is having a hell of a time getting a job in any of them

Terminator 2 has a fair amount of practical effects combined with the CGI, which IMO helps it stand up to the passage of time.

Then there's the use of identical twins, like Don & Dan Stanton as well as Linda & Leslie Hamilton.

Unrelated, I was still thinking of the Bob's Burgers Christmas episode all day. Found out the music Gene played during his recital on the xylophone was a Philip Glass piece, performed by Kronos Quartet:

I've heard that a few times over the years, and I just can't co-sign it. Aliens is almost like a different genre of movie than the original.

Aliens is a great great action movie, but Alien is a sci-fi horror classic. (T2 is unquestionably better than the first Terminator though, so no arguments there)

Aliens vs Alien are different types of film it seems. Alien is straight up horror (and for me if I had to pick one I'd pick it, but both are awesome), Aliens is big guns blow 'em up action.

Terminator to T2 seems like the same story told in a different way with a bigger budget, but I haven't watched either of them recently. And both were amazing, not hating, just there's not a switch to a different type of movie there to me.

In my humble opinion, T2 is also a very different genre from the original.

There's a Cracker Barrel in the neighboring Portland suburb Tigard. Not something I would've expected this far north.

Then again we're about to get a Jolibee, which I'm a lot more excited about.
