How to Quit your job

Dear Stan:

You have a man in your employ that I have thought for a long time should be fired. I refer to Tommy Tan. He is a fellow of a good deal of ability, but for a long time I have been convinced that his heart is not in his work.

There is no question but that this man Tommy has in some ways been an ornament to our organization. His hair, for one thing, being long and messy gives an artistic carelessness to his personal appearance that somewhat impresses such men as Mr. YH and Mr.JK when they come into the office.

But Tommy is not really productive. As I have said his heart is not in his work. I think he should be fired and if you will not do the job I should like permission to fire him myself. I therefore suggest that Tommy be asked to sever his connections with the company on 25th July 2013. He is a nice fellow. We will let him down easy but let’s can him.

Respectfully submitted,

Tommy Tan

It's always darkest before the dawn

when your world is weary, 

when all is dark, 

when dreams die and fade away, 

and all of life is stark, 

take heart in gentle love, 

for she waits in the wings, 

and where she walks, 

fairies dance and angels sing, 

though you cannot see, 

she weaves a silken touch, 

leaving footprints in the sand, 

sprinkling spells and such, 

lighting the dampened corridors, 

the dark corners of your mind, 

leaving you breathless, 

bewildered by her kind, 

goodness glints in her eyes, 

hope is in her arms, 

and all you've ever dreamed of, 

rests sweetly in her charms.
