    This is it folks

    Just got offered, and accepted, a job at a factory about 10 minutes away. It's third shift but I will be making over 3 bucks an hour more than I already am.

    Notice will be typed up and given tomorrow.

    Holy schmoo, Irv! Congratulations for being out of the Swamp!

    ...Though I'm a little sad we won't continue to get daily updates on how totally f***ed up things are there...
    “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
    One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
    The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

          Might I suggest a truly professional and clear resignation letter:

          "Dear Manager -- whatever your name is; it's not really important:

          Na na naaaa naaa, Na na naaaa naaa, HEY HEY HEY! Goood-byeeeee!

          Sincerely yours, IPF.

          PS: Fuck you very much."

              It would be interesting to witness the implosion at the Clearance Swamp.

                I hope the new job treats you loads better than the Swamp did.

                  Truly the end of an era! Best of luck with the new job!
                  I would have a nice day, but I have other things to do.

                    That's great, Irv. I'd work graveyard to get away from customers any day! And you get more money? A serious win-win.

                      Yup. Close to $3 more an hour to start. Plus overtime is when you sign up for it, and you may not even have to work it. But if you do, you get the option of taking off another day during the week.

                      Oh no, my notice was polite and to-the-point. But you best believe I'll be thinking that when I walk out those doors Friday afternoon.

                          First thought: Damn, no more swamp stories....
                          Second thought: Congrats, I'm sure it's a lot less stressful at the new job, and 3$/h more help too.
                          Third thought: Some former co-irkers will have to work for real now, poor things....
