Stage One: Complete

To take a break, if I may, from our conversation about the struggles of our generation, I'd just like to say that Stage One of the exodus from this place to the Mojave Desert is Complete. I have just signed -- in triplicate -- my letter of resignation and sent it off to our HR director, while presenting the other two copies to my principal and the Media Specialist. I will now be officially unemployed as of 3:50 on 10 June... time to go and see the doctor before my insurance runs out.
