Here's a bizarre story about quitting. When I was at Microsoft, I had a manager who, despite good intentions, led through fear and paranoia. I had gotten yelled at for causing a production incident, which was not the first time, but that week I started having some very strange dreams involving seeing the number "69" in different places. Just some juvenile humor maybe, I just dismissed it. In the meantime, gradually this idea of quitting popped up and felt like a crazy, radical, awesome idea -- and I told him I was leaving immediately, fuck 2 weeks notice, etc. I was excited and terrified of him. Well, he told me the processing would still take a few days no matter what, and once we finalized it, my official last day was... June 9. 6/9 Then I worked at Expedia, had a rough experience with a manager there, and wouldn't you know it I had the magic number appear in my dreams again. 3 months in, cya. Call it superstition, or classical conditioning, but I don't really regret it.
