I have the unfortunate habit of telling the truth and I have the uncanny ability can seeing where projects are going to run into snags, I tell the managers hoping the managers would be pleased to know this and search for a solution, yes I am a gullable 53 years old idealist. I still wonder why I have no friends or family who acknowledge my existence.
You see I have just been suspended from a PGCE course because I told my school mentor that he was not IMHO doing a good job, but rather than the Uni or school look at my constructive critism it is much easier to suspend me because they can then go back to their king with no clothes imaginary world. Or is it me who is living in the real world hoping for an imaginary one. I hope not!

Yeah, the pinheads in my office used to eat my clearly labeled food too, until after I brought in my dog food pizza, clearly labeled as a sausage pizza. The next day it was gone, so I wrote an email to everyone, āHope you liked my dog food pizza.ā My boss was pretty p|$$ed. Whaa haa hahahaha!

You made it to Tech Support Comedy where many of us feel or have felt the same way.

The white trash imbeciles at my former place of employment wouldnāt even understand half the letter, let alone pick up on its delicious humor. I have half a mind to send it to all of them, in spite of the fact that I left that godforsaken place six months ago. Yes, the bitterness and vitriol still course through my veins. I want karmic revenge, dammit!! Kudos on this - it made my day.

hereās a good farewell sent last week:
http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/2007/08/27/the-farewell-email-to-end-all-farewell-emails/
It went out at Christieās, that big British auction house
secprob

During my nearly six years here at Christieās, I have come to conclude that farewell emails are a lot like those boring Academy Award speeches where they thank everyone under the sun. In these emails everyone just babbles on and on with the same old euphoric poppycock; read one, read āem all. Well, you wonāt be able to include this email in that group.
And so it is really here before me; my departure from the āWorldās Leading Art Businessā and all of its contaminated corporate splendor. I announce this without hesitation, or regret and I donāt expect that most of you to have already known I was leaving.
I would like to begin by expressing my appreciation for those I have worked with in the Photographs Department: Laura, Stuart, Sarah, Elizabeth and Ashley. The are the best and most dedicated in their field and I wish them continued success. I would also like to thank all of the dedicated Art Handlers and Attendants I have represented as Shop Steward - they are the backbone of the company and deserve everyoneās respect!
I feel it is best to quickly express my fondest appreciation for some of the endearing ideas that I have seen peddled around me: like how everyone seems to be replaceable, thinking outside of the box is liken to heresy, favoritism is thicker than water and speaking the truth gets you into trouble.
For the snakes in the grass that covertly sent the message a few years ago that I was being āperceived as a trouble makerā and I that I should leave Christieās ā I thank you wholeheartedly for that uplifting gift.
A moment should be taken to note the optimism that once existed after we unionized only to see it squashed by a culture of harassment that has since permeated and fostered.
It would be shameless of me not to let the powers that be know my deep gratitude for eliminating most of the older Art Handlers internet access. God knows what treacherous and deviant websites you have kept us from visiting - thanks!
But most of all, I would like to thank this bold and majestic company for taking someone who actually liked the business ā someone who could have seen themselves staying here, giving their all and making them feel totally miserable to the point where they had to send an email like this before they left.
Finally I would like to applaud the wonderful decision to install that brilliant new carpeting on the 5th & 6th floors and my dismay that I wonāt see it completely installedā¦ā¦.
