Someone sent me this email. I can definitely relate, lol!!!

The following is said to be a real letter of resignation from an employee
at a computer company, to her boss, who apparently resigned very soon
afterwards! It's funny, if a little harsh.......


'Dear Mr X,

As a graduate of an institution of higher education, I have a few very
basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct superiors have an
intellect that ranges above the common ground squirrel. After your
consistent and annoying harassment of my co-workers and me during the
commission of our duties, I can only surmise that you are one of the few
true genetic wastes of our time.

Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of
everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not only a
waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was hired because I
know how to network computer systems, and you were apparently hired to
provide amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly
attempt to understand the concept of "cut and paste" for the hundredth
time.

You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly simple as
binary still gives you too many options. You will also never understand why
people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it to you.........

You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault in
others. You have a sharp dressed useless look about you that may have
worked for your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility,
you pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping their talent will cover for
your glaring ineptitude. In a world of managerial evolution, you are the
blue-green algae that everyone else eats and laughs at. Managers like you
are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle. Since this situation is unlikely
to change without you getting a full frontal lobotomy reversal, I am forced
to tender my resignation.

However, I have a few parting thoughts.

1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is illegal for you
to give me a bad reference. The most you can say to hurt me is "I prefer
not to comment." I will have friends randomly call you over the next couple
of years to keep you honest, because I know you would be unable to do it on
your own.

2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I know
every password you have used for the last five years. If you decide to get
cute, I am going to publish your "favorites list", which I conveniently
saved when you made me "back up" your useless files. I do believe that
terms like "Lolita" are not usually viewed favorably by the company.

3. When you borrowed the digital camera to "take pictures of your Mother's
birthday," you neglected to mention that you were going to take pictures of
yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to erase them like the
techno-moron you really are. Suffice it to say I have never seen such odd
acts with a sauce bottle, but I assure you that those have been copied and
kept in safe places pending the authoring of a glowing letter of reference.
(Try to use a spell check please; I hate having to correct your mistakes.)

Thank you for your time, and I expect the reference on my desk by 8:00 am
tomorrow. One word of this to anybody, and all of your little twisted
repugnant obsessions will be open to the public. Never f*** with your
systems administrator. Why? Because they know what you do with all that
free time!

Wishing you a grand and glorious day'.

Fuuuuny. In the course of their job history, just about everybody has encountered that type of boss; living examples of the "Peter Principle", a term coined to describe someone who has been elevated to his level of incompetency.

It's funny but much too long. I prefer short and sweet as it keeps them guessing and that's much more agonizing.
