I Am So Outta Here

So that killer job you took with that up-and-coming dot com has turned into a luxury seat on the titanic, and it’s now time to grab a lifeboat off. How about a tool to write & deliver your resignation letter as you’re walking out the door?
It’s a great job you have there. The people you are working with are great & you’re being tossed staggering of money. Unfortunatly, the company is going the way of the Passenger Pigeon, with the stock values dropping into the shitter with a kersplash that even the deaf can’t miss. When you’re faced with the possibility that every morning brings the possibility of the doors being locked, it’s time to bail.
One of the hardest things to do in the world is to write a resignation letter. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get it done automatically? Good news, Bucky! The good folks at dbaseiv.net have set up an engine that will do exactly that. They’ll even deliver it to your soon-to-be former-employers, giving you plenty of time to gather up all your goodies and get the hell out the door. All you need to do is answer a few questions, and you’re on your way to the life of Reilly!

Three Days and 25 Spocktails: A Cautionary Tale
Johnnie Royale picked me up from the dental surgery. I felt warm, safe, cradled in the anathesia's loving embrace. The pharmacy downstairs gave me a bottle of Vicodin and a few instructions: take it with food, don't mix with alcohol, don't operate heavy machinery. I put it in my pocket and we left. "Do you want to go home, or do you want to go to a bar?" asked Johnnie. (More...)
