The letter
Hi, This is to confirm my resignation, effective two weeks from today. I'd like to thank the office printer specifically for teaching me persistence, the kitchen for teaching me what kombucha tastes like when it's been there for a year, and the calendar invite labeled "quick sync" for teaching me that words mean nothing. I've enjoyed my time here in approximately the same way I've enjoyed long flights. Best, — R.
The story
My manager came over and asked, gently, if the printer was really what this was about. I said no, of course not. We both knew that was a lie. We both let it be a lie.
