Also i resigned from my job last week. Just walked in and said 'stick it up your arse you fat knobhead'. Actually thats a lie I wrote a very polite letter that went something like
If it's not hurting, it's not working, Susannah. I don't know what 'giving in your notice' really means. It's a stupid phrase. Maybe it dates from a time when all workers were chained to posts, with signs saying 'You don't have to be worthless scum to work here - but it helps!' affixed to their backs. To 'give in your notice' quite literally entailed casting off your shackles and handing in this crap notice to your supervisor. There's a great 'Sienfeld' episode in which George decides to quit his job, storms into his boss's office and tells him just what he thinks of him. He feels very proud of himself and tells Jerry all about it that evening. But then he realises that he has no skills or prospects at all and needs his job back. So he just turns up for work on Monday morning and acts like nothing ever happened. Maybe Seb will do this. No one has shown the remotest interest in amending those lyrics I posted. Either they are all perfect or else no one is interested in being as tedious as me. It's a tricky one to call. Nick xx this:
'Dear Boss, I am notifying you of my resignation. I am leaving on the 18th June, and therefore have given the required months notice.' Yours etc. etc. But what exactly are you meant to write? people talk about 'giving in their notice' but whats meant to be in it? Thing is, when I go, nobodys going to flippin' well notice anyway. I walked out that day thinking ' yeah, yeah, I've done it, yeah, that showed them! cunts!' but about fifteen minutes later it had spookily changed to 'ohmigod, what am I meant to do now?'
