Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmm. I should have done all that venting quitting.
The first time I handed my boss a letter (which he asked me to rewrite) and the second time I said "I quit. This is two week's notice. Do you need it in writing?" to which she said "Good." and looked back down at the stuff on her desk.

FUCK!! He is already gone. DARN IT! Now I have used up two perfectly adorable I'm quitting outfits.
Dammit! You're going to have to get seriously dolled up tomorrow for the quitting. I think a full on fifties dress.

it will be too hot for my big fifties dresses. PLus, I sit on an exercise ball at work and that won't work so well with crinolines and all that fullness.

The only time I've ever quit a job was one working for my family's church, whose minister my parents were close frends with. Didn't allow for much in the way of catharsis, although not having to get up early on Sundays when I was carrying a 21 hour college course load and working 25+ hours a week at my other job felt good enough on its own.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You were asked to rewrite a resignation letter? Wow.
I haven't had a good cathartic quit. I feel like I'm missing out.

Huh? I haven't had any problems with it. And I *always* think you should wear big fifties dresses.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
At one job, I had written a resignation letter but then changed my mind and put it in my drawer (I wasn't bright). My boss, looking for something while I was out of the office, found it and called me into his office when I got back. He showed me the letter and said, "I accept."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've never had a big scene resignation, either. Several times, I've gotten myself all geared up for some crazy reaction from my crazy boss, but each time, she's just said, "Oh, OK. Good luck."
