A friend of mine had had enough at her job. She's forced to work from open until closing, "managing" a crew of undisciplined, slacker teens and twenty-somethings who have no work ethic. Most of them are useless, yet she has no power to fire them. She complains to her boss and identifies the problems and proposes solutions, yet he rarely does anything about it.
She'd had enough. So she typed up her letter of resignation, attached it to an email, and was reaching to click "Send" when she saw her boss at the front door of her store. So she stopped, saved it as a draft, and closed her email.
He came in and fired one of the troublemakers.
"Hm," she said. "Maybe things will get better." So she will not resign.
For now.
About Me
- Marvin the Martian
- I am an alien here on this little planet. I've been sent to learn about life here, to observe people and things around me, and to become a better entity by applying the lessons that I learn here. I've chosen the name "Marvin the Martian" because he is familiar to many, and the Martian mindset isn't expected to be similar to a human's. Thank you for stopping by to read this little blog. I hope you'll come back.

OOhhh! That was a close one!
Not like me. I typed and revised and edited and polished and finally printed my letter of resignation at my last job -- to the wrong printer. And yes, someone picked it up.
That would make me an iDiot.
Oooh, just on time!
Well, she has the letter ready in case she ever needs to use it
Hang on to that letter! She will probably need it again.
