Something amazingly good happened today!

[kedrys]

This morning, the s.o. finally walked away from the job from hell with the neocon born-again nazi boss, and into a new job with cool projects, cool coworkers, benefits, and, oh, a 40% pay increase.

On the s.o.'s birthday, no less. :D

The resignation letter was ONE sentence: "leaving to pursue other opportunities outside this company."

I'm so proud I can barely stand myself...so I thought I'd share the good vibes.

:party: :woohoo: :bounce: :toast: :thumbsup: :applause:

1. Congratulations to you and your SO!

Gotta ask...how many versions of that resignation letter were written and discarded before it was whittled down to that very diplomatic sentence? :evilgrin:

[kedrys]

8. That was it, actually...

Amazingly enough...

Can't vouch for the length of the upcoming (written) exit interview though... :evilgrin:

2. Now that's what I call a birthday present!

Congratulations and best of luck in the new venture!

11. One not to be forgotten anytime soon, that's for sure!

Thanks for the good vibes. I'm cautiously optimistic. :toast:

12. I've passed on your toasts and bouncies to the s.o.

Our feeling of relief is palpable. We may actually get to find out what a normal life is like...starting with not having to carry a tape recorder in one's pocket every time one is summoned to one's boss' office. :hug:

On edit: typo.

4. That's great news, kedrys!

Congrats to your SO (and to you, too, as I'm sure your SO being happy with the new job will spill over into more happiness at home).

16. Thank you so much!

It sure is nice that for once, the light at the end of the tunnel is the sunrise and not an oncoming train. :D

This occasion merits a command performance by the DU Synchronized Woo-Hoo Olympic Team (practicing sympathetic joy for you and your SO). Good things _do_ happen to good people! :hug:
