IT'S CERTIFIABLE

Apparently, I have left behind some very pissed off people when I abruptly quit my last job . I never equated work to marriage, thus never feeling it necessary to handle the exit as if it were a divorce. But what do I know? I'm just a girl that loves her son more than a company who's definition of fun is counting the number of recyclable paper towels under the sink, and bragging about how many employees come close to a nervous breakdown by the end of a concert season. These should have been the signs that I was a fish attempting to ride a bicycle across the desert. But hey, sometimes I'm clueless - just ask my son. |
Today I received a "certified letter" in the mail. (GASP) Somehow I don't remember
joining the Army, but I guess I did. In this letter from the company that I just quit,
I was scolded over how I was contracted to give a 30 day notice plus a whole lot
of blah blah blah that I would need waist-high wading boots to move through.
Do we really want to begin to discuss the promises that were made and ignored by
the company? Probably not. Their shock and indignation forced a smile to my face.
It felt like I was getting a divorce and an ex was serving me with papers. Rather odd,
since every place I have ever worked I have left on great terms. In fact, I am friends
with all my ex bosses. Now, I guess I am just that bastard redhead who left a shitty
job - how dare I!
"Mom, what's that?"
"A certified letter."
"What's that?"
"A letter people send when they worry they are in the wrong..."
"Who's it from?"
I show him the envelope.
"Mom, they really need to get a life. Are you going to burn it?"
Hmmmm ... maybe Brian is finally showing signs that he might be a redhead.
Until next time-

Catherine - What a farce. Sending you a certified letter - to what avail? You quit and that's it. Period.
Like the new look of your site and hope you're surviving the ubiquitous smoke that's everywhere, even up here in Truckee.

I know who or what you are talking about. My friend sometimes helps with their PR and always says how unhappy and small minded everyone is who works for the SRS. You should be thankful you are gone from such an awful place. we bet 10.00 that no one ever bothered to ask if you are okay.

The Director there is a troll. We watched you and wondered how long it would take for you to crash and burn. We will miss your help with our tickets. The Symphony is clueless as to what they have lost. Drink some of that red wine you love and thank the Gods that you were saved by a fall down a flight of stairs. Like Sean up there, I agree that you probably were never asked if you were ok.
