Quitting a job is like sex on a first date

Quitting a job is like sex on a first date. It causes strange emotions: a mixture of excitement, dread and anxiety. An adrenaline rush followed by a huge sense of relief.

There is also a certain process; courting your boss, so to speak. You draft a resignation letter, schedule a meeting to present your letter, and then, well, present your letter.

Of course, after doing the deed, there is always a reaction: good, neutral, or bad. The boss with the good reaction provides a counter offer and is the girl who gives you her number (her real number). The boss with the neutral reaction provides you with a box and tight lipped good luck, this boss is the slut who called you Bob when your name is Alex. The boss with the bad reaction is the one who escorts you out of the building without allowing for your full two weeks to expire, this boss is the girl you called Bob when her name is Alex.
