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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's kind of good to see Rebecca Romijn these days. Not because I'm all schadenfreudey, but because a) she bruises, b) she's not uber-toned and c) her posture is ... well, she's normal. We all know what she's looked like before and what she'll look like again, but right now, she's just some size 6/8 chick with an amazing hip/waist ratio.

oh yeah - this won't be a big deal. My guess is they won't say anything unless it is to try to guilt me into more days.

You were asked to rewrite a resignation letter? Wow.
Guy was living in severe denial -- was still offering me my job back, a year later, after I'd moved out of the country. Of course, I was replaced by an hourly consultant and a new in-house employee, both working 40 hours a week to do my job. He basically just wishes he'd paid me what I had asked for.
He showed me the letter and said, "I accept."
Okay, ow. Some lessons you don't want to have to learn with such .. clarity.
