Resigned to my fate?

What happens when you quit your job and nobody notices?

On Thursday, November 10, at 8:47 (CET) I sent a three-line email of resignation to my boss, who happens to work in another Central European country.

As of 17:00 (CET) on Friday, I'd received no reply.

Does this mean I'm in some sort of quitters' limbo?*

Obviously, in a situation like this, there's only one thing to do -- draw a funny-looking caricature of your boss on the office white board. This is a reproduction of the original.


*Limbo, for those of you not raised Catholic, is the place where unbaptized babies go when they die. It can also be a lively, Caribbean dance, but that's not the sense in which it's currently being used.
