Dear Employer,
I'm leaving.
Ms. DJ
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

The status is NOT quo.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah. I'm thinking something a little more...professional?
I still think as short as possible.
"I am resigning, effective DATE. I've appreciated the opportunity to work with you, blah blah blah."

There are such things on the Web -- I think I saw them when I was looking for reference letter examples.

Perfect! Thanks y'all! At this point I just want to plug stuff in a form letter.

Huh. I just filled in a Pugh chart for the first time, and it's quite revealing. For instance, I've apparently decided that both a potato cannon and rocket-propelled chainsaw would be more fun to build than anything else which has been proposed.
Of course, they lose out on the whole legal and safe categories, but... maybe I won't show the kids my chart.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
My step-dad had a potato cannon forever. It developed a crack and he had to throw it away, but man that thing was fun. Some one gave him a marshmellow blow dart gun, but it's really not the same, you know?

I am being ridiculoulsly optimistic and bookmarking that site. I'm trying to figure out how to write a good resignation letter when what I really want to say is:
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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Myself, I'm struggling not to go with,
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

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

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,
Vortex
