I've never officially quit a job before today...

To whom it may concern:

I am writing this letter to announce my resignation from the position of Programmer Writer at Amazon.com, effective at the end of the day today, March 23, 2004.

While it has been a wonderful learning experience working here, I feel that my growth and productivity as a technical writer does not sync up with the current aims and objectives of the Technical Documentation and Training department. I wish them and the company all the best in the future.

Regrettably yours,

Oh, what's next? Good idea, I should tell y'all.

Well, I'm going to Japan with nykkel from March 31 - April 12. That was the "insanity" I talked about a few months ago.

Then I'm going to Spring Carnival. I'll be staying there as long as dvarin will let me :) Okay, not really. But I should be around for longer than just the Fri-Sat-Sun I'd originally thought was happening.

Then I'm going to Sakuracon, probably working for damienroc in guest relations, although we have to work out those details. I may also have a particular PP-celebrity houseguest for a couple days around then as well.

In the middle of May, I'm going to Philly for a week or two for my cousin's Bat Mitzvah, and to spend some significant time with my family for once and eat some cheesesteaks.

Infact, I'd like to do a lot of travelling while I have the time. So here's a proposal for you guys -- if I can find a plane ticket price that I can afford to where you are, and you will provide me crash space and drive me around, I will come visit you. At this rate, the sky's the limit, pun intended. Heck, I could even go to England or something :)

I plan to actually go look for a job sometime in June or July (hopefully tanuwa will still be a recruiter then, heh). Yes, I've saved up enough money that I'll be okay for a couple months, I'll just have to actually budget myself a little better.

That will also do. :) I mean, she can call if you can't make it all the way down here.

We're totally going to come visit you. When's a good time to? Sometime between April 1-12, and I think not the first Saturday of that.

I don't know if you'd want to come down here on the 10th or 11th, since you'd have to rush back up to Tokyo to go to the airport, but anytime is okay with me. During the week we'd have to meet somewhere after I get off work and go have some food or something.

Well, a day trip is a day trip. What time do you get off of work? I mean, we could find things to do in Nagoya during the day and then get dinner... but I wonder what time the last train runs back. Hmm. Maybe that first Sunday? I dunno...

The first Sunday (the 4th) might be a better idea, since I'd be able to show up earlier, and you could make the last northbound Shinkansen in time. By the time I got off work there'd be no chance of getting back to Tokyo that day.
