9/11

Today was the day commemorating the September 11 attacks on World Trade Center. People were wary that there might be another terrorist attack. But instead of the rumored altercation--of burning buildings and whatnot--my day ended with a burning bridge. I tendered my resignation effective September 18, 2006 but instead of a simple acknowledgment, I got a comment for being unprofessional.

I won't divulge on the details since I respect my boss enough. He's a very unpretentious individual and I commend him for that. However, I would've been more approving of him if he had given me enough credit for just giving the company a 1 week notice. I did what I did and I shared my reasons for doing it. So, I'll leave it at that and wish us all a better future.

Update: Boss called me up in his office. Bridge stopped burning.

Now I realize, the manner I gave my resignation was a bit cold. The boss understands that I am a good kid without that much experience and I appreciate the parting pieces of advice he gave. And yes, I learned an important lesson today. In some cases, people come first before paper. Formalities come after personal relations. (Sort of similar to laws being made after an insight into the experience of a nation..but that's taking it a bit too far)

Thanks.
