I am not a Lebowski Achiever.
“Please accept this letter as formal notification…”
After four years at the company, I met with my boss yesterday and put in the notice. I made the announcement in our weekly staff meeting this morning to a surprised and bemused bunch of producers, editors, and videographers. The company-wide resignation email from Human Resources went out today. People shook my hand, told me congratulations, and gave me hugs. I got more emails from co-workers today than I ever have in a day. (Even one from an executive VP!)
There were smiles and raised eyebrows at the ethereal “plan” for my trip, which I’m getting pretty quick at explaining.
I have taken the final step to really, actually, FINALLY going on this trip. I will be unemployed; a man of leisure. (At least for a while.) It’s official and it feels great. Remind me why I was nervous about this?
So, Dude, how did that meeting with your boss go again?
“Okay! The old man told me take any rug in the house!”
The bums will always lose? Ha!
