i did it. i totally just did it. i sent an email to the boss and co-boss telling them that i want to quit at the end of june. I DID IT YES I DID IT QUITTING QUITTING QUITTING!!
i would, um, like to take this space to thank, SINCERELY, kristen, nuala, and jason (for an hour and a half today), who have put up with me dithering and questioning and rethinking and being a complete pain in their respective asses. and also marina who read voluminous correspondence about it. and really all of the rest of you who have suffered thru my tirades and stupidity about this dumb ass job. now if only they don’t kick my ass tomorrow and tell me that i can take my resignation and shove it and that i shouldn’t bother coming back the rest of the month because fuck me anyway who do i think i am. and my basic insecurity reasserts itself…i don’t want anyone to be really ANGRY with me…
i’m not angry with you. you go! quit the job! fuck ’em in the ass! rippa~!!!
SAAAAWEEEEET! Good job you. Nothing good came of this job, just pain and misery. Tell them to take their stupid job with its stupid people and shove it up their respective asses…only if they wouldn’t mind since you wouldn’t want to upset anyone.
i got to work this morning and there was an email, not telling me to remove my traitorous face from the office because they didn’t want to have to look at me ever again, but saying, “oh well we were going to cut you back to 40% in july and then let you go probably in august anyway.” to which i say, well screw you then! bah. bitches.
ha ha ha! i just got a phone call asking me to come interview for a job on campus that i applied for weeks and weeks ago. i panicked and said sure i’d come now i practically feel obligated. i need to go remind myself of what this job was for. possibly i don’t want it.
So, are you avoiding getting a different job at Berkeley??? Do you say “fuck Berkeley altogether, those bitches suck” or is it just your office that you want to be out of?
Yeah, what’s this new job about anyway?
it’s a student affairs officer class level 1 in the anthropology department. making at least $1 more than i am currently making and is only 50% time. it’s umm working with students some, undergrads, and then with the higher level student affairs officers being helpful. it sounds dumb. but potentially simple. plus only half time. and more money by the hour.
That’s perfect. Even if the job sucks, your big issue was your job taking over your life, right?
i meant to say this way back when you first told me, but that is possibly the rudest answer to a resignation i have ever heard. “oh well, we were going to lay you off anyway”??? wtf? how about “you are a great worker and we will miss you” or even just “that’s a shame, good luck”? i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, your bosses SUCK.
well they didn’t say it in those words exactly. i mean, i was paraphrasing… this is what they actually said:
“I think this will work just fine, Michele. I had planned to talk to you today about going to 40%-50% in July and about the possibility of our whole office working at an even lower percentage in August and from that point on
until the budget is signed.”
Oh that’s much better. Where do you go to vote for miss congeniality?
