Hey Nd,
Much like the dog and his tongue….
Because THEY CAN!
Wouldn’t you, geek or not? I mean, when we are dressed well, don’t we walk a little taller?
When you have shined and polished your car, don’t you spend a little longer out there hoping people will appreciate it?
Done work on your house/yard, and then spent time with the neighbor hoping they would say something?
I don’t see any difference. When you’ve worked hard to get something you’ve wanted, you are happy to flaunt it!
Like I said, because they can!

Hey Jay,
I like the song from the “Sound of Music”. So Long
It goes; “So Long, Farewell, Aulf Viedersaen, Good bye!”
It will convey your meaning without being a downer!

Hey Key-C,
Since we never burn bridges when we leave any situation….
Hi, I know you are very busy today — So I’ll keep this very brief.
You have NO idea what this job has meant to me, but I have made the decision that I need to expand my horizons. I will be leaving your employ on ___/___/___. I know that I am giving you short notice, but based on my knowledge of your abilities, I know that you will have a qualified replacement here shortly. As a token of my devotion to this company, I will do my best to train this employee to give the job the attention that you know it deserves.
I don’t know how to thank you.
I hope I added to your other responses! Good luck!
