29 November 2005

I finally did it and offered my resignation today. It's been a long road and I finally was able to corner my boss and wave the magic letter. But...[More:] She waved the letter and my resignation right off and did not accept it. All I could do was laugh. I mean, wow, I just can't leave (but I should probably wait anyway until I've got something solid lined up like you all recommended).

Oy. Anyone else ever have something similar happen?
The only option left is to poop on her desk. Preferably while she's sitting at it.

Well, I tendered my resignation almost exactly a year ago and am only now leaving due to a kind of mutual-fear-of-me-leaving relationship with my boss.

But now I'm free! Free I tells ya!

Is there a clause about an X-month notice?

Did you sign an employment agreement?

Otherwise, you can just walk (yeah, have something lined up to walk to, or have some cash backed up).

My supervisor knew that I had another gig lined up to start in January. Sat on my thesis for two months and didn't read it until I got my committee chair to give him a talking to. Today I found out that, pretty much, things weren't going to work out and I won't be able to defend and move on until late January/February. I'm fucking pissed... but I'm just too numb to really feel it right now.

Drinking heavily since I threw up my hands and went home. Here's another shot of Finlandia with you in mind, moonbird.

Dahlink! Again she didn't take it! This woman, she is of the madness, I tell you!

Thursday, Jack of the Wood, 7ish. See you there. ;-)

This just means that you can do whatever you want now. Congratulations. I plan on being a huge asshole once I find a new job, simply because where I work fucking sucks, and it's one of those places that officially doesn't give recommendations. Why not?

i've never heard of that--can people really just not take it? how weird?

what'd she say?

1. Quit
2. ...
3. Bribery!

Milk it, I say.

i can't believe that bunny story, interro.

It's true, amber. I have a related management-story follow-up to it, but I haven't written it yet. It's ten times more outrageous.

who is she sleeping with? (or which of her children is in management?)
posted by amberglow 29 November | 23:32
No one, and none of them. She doesn't have any children.

She's not really the problem, it's favoritism, sexism, and ageism that's the problem.

That and that the management doesn't really understand what we do.

I'll get to writing that followup, and I'll email you when it's done, amber.

How Bizzare.

Just wait 'til December 3. Mercury goes direct that day, and you should probably see some movement one way or the other around then. Hang in there, honey.
