Now that he had finally found the courage to hand in his notice, the feeling of resignelation was overwhelming.

So many good words already. I'll have to think about this after I exit MPOW, and head for the carpark. (Only vehiciousexiting going on at this time of the day) I wonder if there will be even a minor thrill as I'm only leaving for a long weekend.
