Resignation

As of today, I have officially resigned from IGN entertainment/Fox Interactive Media by their request.
My views and way of doing project management vastly differed from the way of doing things in their corporate structure.
As I enjoyed my time there, I presented them with a resignation letter that I have used in the past, that they will find humorous and know that I hold no ill will twoards them.

The contents are below. Some of you have seen this from when I used it on Sony.

" Dear Iana,

As I am well known for my wit and humor, I really couldn't resist.

After an appropriate period of deliberation,
I have come to the decision to tender my resignation from IGN/ Fox Interactive Media, effective 5/2/2007.

Please know that I still maintain a high level of respect for you as a manager and colleague, and I thank you sincerely for the support and assistance you have offered me in each of those roles. I have been proud to work for IGN over the past year; it has been a journey that has provided me an unparalleled foundation to move forward to new and exciting opportunities.

As such, I have decided to become a professional pirate.
It has always been a dream of mine to live the life of a swashbuckling corsair, beholden to none and master of all I survey. Once my crew of unabashed rogues is assembled, we shall take to the capacious expanse of the high seas to pursue fortune, fame, and hair-raising adventure.

Our path may not be filled with the porcine comforts and technological marvels that IGN provides, but we shall nonetheless move forward to carve a name for ourselves in the annals of bold insurgency and death-defying derring-do. Once I have a keen blade at my hip and the Jolly Roger is flapping high above me, I believe I will find my true calling.

Please note that I am currently accepting applications for First Officer, if any are at all interested in applying. I will provide a full medical and dental plan, which will offer immediate coverage of all maladies other than scurvy and the occasional bout of rickets.

Sincerely,

James Shattuck

In all reality, I do thank you for my tenure at IGN, and wish you all God Speed moving forward from here on out.
I will miss you all very deeply.

"Enlightenment comes to us all; with some it comes to them in a whisper, to others a roar. My enlightenment reveals itself to me within the quiet solitude of chaos, breathed forth by the sweet ambrosia of conflict. Brought screaming, I find that my senses soar and I exist solely for the moment spread before me. Life and death are only transitions, each its own progeny and antithesis. Enlightenment comes to us all; those who do not find upon the breath of life, spy its grandure upon its twilight." "

To answer the question on everyone's mind, yes, I do have a few open options for other jobs, and yes, this was a suprise. I expect however to be employeed again very soon.
