Its done. Finally I can breathe a sigh of ultimate relief. It took a lot of effort but on a glorious Wednesday afternoon I made one of the most important decisions of my life - submitting my first resignation.
Making the decision to resign was easy. I had made up my mind months before. The only problem was to have another job. Like ... hello ... obviously ... who the hell is gonna pay for the INFINITI?
As it turned out God kinda likes me which is contrary to what I thought. Not because I have done something wrong out of the blue, but I have always been a regular, continuous sinner. Its not easy to identify "the doing of what kind of wrong" would make things "worse". Its a blessing, as someone told me once. Having identified that "wrong" I have seen things going from bad to "worse" right in front of me. I should have learnt the lesson a very very long time ago - but no. Human you see .... can't help it.
After just a few months of effort in finding a job I realized that there is no point in knocking the online job doors because in my case that is rarely fruitful. So I started knocking the "MOST GRACIOUS AND MOST COMPASSIONATE"s door and within a few days I had a few offers in hand. This knocking, however, did not have any other purpose but to fix my life in general. I guess jobs came in as a by product. You can say "lucky bastered".
As I walked into the room to submit the paper everything looked different. The room was not the same. People around me talked about stuff I was not willing to hear because I did not care. Inside the room the convincing was easy and simple. After walking out of the room I felt something I have never felt before - a void that only time would fulfill, a transition from a stable job to a GAP and then ......... well I am still in the gap so I am not sure how it feels to be out of it.
My experience tells me that the talk should be simple and straight. It is always nice to leave the grudges outside the door and talk about more important stuff like what has been done and how will it work out in the future. Dont have a sad face or sound too happy to leave. Forgiving and forgetting simply makes one a bigger and better person and sets up lasting relationships.

Your "Road to resignation" kept you pretty busy (as your post came after a long time!)
You confuse me by saying "Forgiving and forgetting ..." Looks like you had grudges inside the door.
You surely are lucky that you could do whatever you wanted to do. Wish you all the best in your "road from the gap to a stable job again!"
To me, forgiving and forgetting is a universal rule that does not just apply to something like resignation but to life in general. Mentioning it here only meant that this is one place where it should be applied with more diligence if needed.
There were no grudges but disappointments.
What makes you think I could do whatever I wanted to do?
Well you had made up your mind months before and you finally did it! You are surely lucky that you could actually resign which you wanted! Am I not right?
Oh yes, in that way definitely. I guess mine is a classic case of good luck.
My english is not that good to understand the meaning of "classic case of good luck." Please elaborate?
If you know me personally then you would know the story. If you dont well then I will let you know what it means ... in a few weeks.
Though I do know you personally, but I don't know the story. So guess will wait until you tell :)
