You don't want that lovely moment of saying "Take this job and shove it!" to be over?
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Because I'm not doing that to his face. I'd love to, but I'm going to be working in the same industry. Not smart.
And there is the potential that they'll walk me out the door immediately. Don't really want to do the perp walk.

Because books.
Deep breaths, Maria. And make sure you have everything you would need to grab if they do decide to escort you out.
Focus on new!job, and how much better it's going to be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
IME (on both sides), it's always super stressful for the person giving notice and less of a deal for the person receiving it.
And if they walk you out, you don't have to bother wrapping things up -- that always seems to me like a momentary shock/insult, but an actual win-win.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Make sure you have anything you do intend to take with you all together though. Unlikely, but just in case.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Apparently the Monday morning after a new software rollout is a bad time to try and make a doctor's appointment.

Maria,
girl, do you really think this is the case? File your letter at 4:30pm.

I want today's TeeFury shirt but I have no idea what their sizing is like and it's not like I brought a measuring tape with me to NYC.
