 Finding your Limits Minimize

Today’s entry actually comes from an ex-coworker who had enough of the company he was working at and finally gave his notice.  Sometimes the English language can be constructed in a poetically beautiful and descriptive way.  His short, yet fascinating, description of what put him over the edge put a smile to my face and reminded me of when I had written a fantasy “goodbye letter” to be used at any place where you couldn’t wait to leave.  Anyway, here is what he wrote to me.  Enjoy.

 

Hey James,

 

Well I finally figured out how much room there was in my anal cavity -- not enough apparently.

 

They have been ramming so much bullshit up my arse lately that I though I could take anything they packed up there. But they brought in the construction grade pneurmatic piledriver and really pounded it up there till their crap started spewing out of my nose, mouth and eye sockets. I just had enough breath left to sign my resignation letter before succumbing to fecal asphyxiation.

 

If you happen to see a help wanted sign in your local Burger King let me know.

 

Cheers

 

Here’s hoping he finds a new job soon.  And yes, for those of you who notice the word ‘arse’  and 'cheers' in his text, he is British and not just pretending to be one.

I would never pretend to be British. I use cheers frequently, does that mean it's the Scottish drinker in me? Or merely the drinker...wait - it's the Toaster's fault.

I use "cheers" all the time now. I got used to it while working with a UK-based development team. That's how they end conversations.

Those were the days when we were working with the UK development team!!

Ever worked in a sweatshop? Your friend sure sounds like he just left one. As for the 'goodbye letter' - - there is one place I've worked (eh...uh..currently working...for at least the next 30 seconds) where I could have used his assistance to do a simular articulation of my own.
