In Bitches, Resignation Letters:The Manual

MM:

Dear Boss,

I'm out.

[Me]

...

Or perhaps you were looking for something a bit more formal.
______________________________________

KristenT:

Yeah. I'm thinking something a little more...professional?

Dear Employer,

I'm leaving.

Ms. [Me]

______________________________________

Dana:

"I am resigning, effective DATE. I've appreciated the opportunity to work with you, blah blah blah."

______________________________________

V:

Dear Boss,

You are a pompous ass who never gets anything done and you have been the bane of my existence for two years. I regret taking this job and will pray for whoever will suffer under your esteemed "leadership" next.

No love,

Me.

______________________________________

Perkins:

Dear boss,

I quit. I would say more, but I know you never actually read anything I send you, so I am not going to bother.

Thanks,

Me
______________________________________

MM:

How about:

Dear Boss,

Effective [DATE] I shall be ending my employment with this company. I want to thank you for the opportunities to work on communicating in difficult circumstances and taking on work that was beyond my initial purview. Your management style has certainly been a learning experience for me.

The past two years have, I felt, been a journey for me. I hope that the next people to take that journey fare as well or better than I under your guidance.

Sincerely,

[me]

Dear Boss,

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one employee to dissolve the employment bonds which have connected her with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle her, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that she should declare the causes which impel her to the separation.

Dear Boss:

No love,

Actually, I like my bosses so I couldn't write one of those to them. The clients however?

Dear Clients,

YOU are the reason they can't have nice things.

NL,
Me

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Nutty in Natter:

I knew there was an up side to the digital divide! The internet apparently doesn't want your poorer daughters.

Compassionately intolerant

The entire picketing funerals/Leviticus discussion in Movies was great, but the denouement slayed me.

Sean K

Hmm... We seem to have transubstantiated Movies into Bitches.

Miracleman

I don't remember eating anything...

Miracleman

Okay, how did that kill the thread? Seriously.

Corwood Industries

No one wanted to tell you that transubstantiation humor is really more of a Boxed Set thing.

Kat, in Natter:

Of COURSE babies are manipulative. It's how they stay alive. If they didn't manipulate us, they'd be left in their carseat on the curb with a sign that says "Free to okay home."

"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

In Buffista Movies 6:

Fay:

...Never say pussy again?

Frankenbuddha:

This would of course be the film that HAS the Craig-desired man-on-man action.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Aimée: I think about doing that.

And then I pass the joint.

Laura: The geeks would appreciate DH watching the monitors and telling me when I was having a contraction. "Yes dear, I know."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

More Bond title riffing in Movies:

Fiona: And as somebody pointed out on the Guardian boards, "Quantum of Solace" could only pass muster with the words, "Harry Potter and the..." in front of it.

Matt tBf: I don't know, sounds more appropriate for Wesley Crusher and the Quantum of Solace to me. Which, admittedly, might not draw 'em in at the box office.

tommyrot: Ace Ventura and the Quantum of Solace

Jon B.: Quantum of Solace II: Electron Boogaloo

Mostly lurking...

Sox in Bitches, responding to the outpouring of unwanted flab for Jars' mum.

it began as an idea.
then it became a post
then a cause
and then a movement

eyes were opened
thoughtless comments were brought to task
diets were abandoned for the cause

and ... on a fairly innocuous Monday morning, send-someone-your-ass was born.

(and no, I don't mean porn)
