Untitled Public Service Announcement. Runner-Up in I Resign From… Challenge.
May 30, 2025 To whom it may concern, To Ms. Ferguson, To her. To you, To me, I don't know how formal or informal this should be. I've done a resignation letter twice. Both times I was bitter yet restrained. I tried to be respectfully disrespectful. I was calculated and careful with my word choice. Desperation was my motivation for both resignation letters. Though the forces driving each period of desperation were so drastically different. Financial stagnancy vs emotional exhaustion. No chance for lateral movement vs being paralyzed by grief and failure.

Life is a Jukebox
I sat in a jukebox for all of 2024. A little figurine manuevering through a big machine. Every song imprinting on me, leaving dents, echoing through my speech. I laid in my doll bed thinking "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now." I literally was "looking for a job and then I found a job..." I'd roll out of my doll bed and into an toy Uber to Bruckner. The moment the car rolled to a stop, "Welcome to the Jungle" would pound in my chest. "You know where you are, you're in the jungle baby, you're gonna die." I worked at the "Hotel California" (Bruckner) for over 2 years. After my first day I knew I shouldn't be there. I could feel that it would emotionally decompose me, but I stayed. "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave". Modern and polished on the outside, inviting even but unpredictability and devastation ran from the basement to the roof.
