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

March 23, 2004

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 [profile] 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 [profile] 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 [profile] 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 [profile] 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.

Sorry to hear that things didn't work out. As the 34th commenter here, I see you have plenty of connections to see you through these times. :)

My company's still looking to hire around 7 people this year. If you don't mind returning to Pittsburgh, let me know.

All the best,
Jason

Hi, my boyfriend [livejournal.com profile] gootmu is an unemployed programmer living in Pittsburgh right now - can I point him at you? Please? I'm desperate to get him a job and get him out of the house ;)

Sure. Check your e-mail for more info. (I assumed griffin@andrew as the address, since that's what finger returned for mg4h@andrew.)
