HOW TO QUIT YOUR DEAD-END JOB IN UNDER 2 MINUTES

[Note: This is based on an account of a successful job-quitting via phone by my friend Romy, otherwise known as "Leane Roffey Line".]

Highly Replaceable Worker Droid: Hello, Boss?

Boss-Type Unit: Hi, Droid.

Droid: Boss, I quit. Personal reasons.

Boss: But why?

Droid: Personal reasons. You get what I'm saying?

Boss: Nothing to do with the store?

Droid: Right. Tell me what I need to do next.

Boss: Well, I'll need back your name badge and your [employee discount card / I.D. card / etc.].

Droid: Okay. Next week sometime. I'm going out of town until then. I'll bring it by.

Boss: Okay.

[Droid hangs up.]

End of resignation.

Droid's significant other: Hallelujah. I don't think I'd have lasted as long as you did at that nut house.

VERBOXIOUS: the trouble with words. 2009.06.16

"mining the empty meanings between humankind's inarticulate breaths since 2007"

No, It's Not All Good.

Lying, cheating, and stealing are not good. Bullying others is not good. Bad things happening to basically kind people are definitely not good.

And, while I'm gassing on like a tired old crank here, how about bad things happening to plants and animals that are at the butt-end of humankind's ignorance, vanity, and greed?

I especially like the current definition #4 of "It's All Good" at THIS LINK at urbandictionary.com. Basically, it states everything I could have crammed into a full-length essay within this post.

(As Mark Twain is attributed with saying, "Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.")

So much sand in our eyes

and too many tears
