Are you giving notice in writing? They probably need something printed and dated, to make it all official. (You still have to say something, too, because just grunting and shoving a piece of paper at your boss is probably not the best idea.)

But this is a big step -- I'm excited for you!

Thanks, bonny. It's such a small field that I think it's better for me to be honest. They will find out and I don't want to burn any bridges.

Steph, I'm planning on following up with an email but I know my boss values face to face conversations so I'm starting with that.

The support is much appreciated. Now if only I could get to sleep! It's not nerves - well, it's literally nerves. Pain is keeping me awake and it's too late to take anything. Blah.

Quitting by grunting and shoving a piece of paper at my boss would be satisfying though.

My vote is that you use the Declaration of Independence.

Smonster, I'm sending some of Harvey's most mellow purrs through the interwebs to bring you peace and strength.

~ma, smonster. I am looking forward to seeing you have this burden lifted from your shoulders.

It is done! It went fine. I think he's sad, but he gets it.

Yay! Good to have this behind you so you can go forward.

Excellent!

Good for you, smonster! Giving him a month's notice was quite generous, imho.
