[at-l] that law firm associate resignation letter that jim quoted

[icw at esisnet.com (Clark Wright)]

Ferget Kelly - that resignation letter that Jim included in his recent 
post is pretty damn close to the verbal one I gave as a tenured partner 
when I resigned from my 65-lawyer firm in the summer of 2002, after 
having been terminally infected by walking long distances on the AT in 
2001! :)  With the passage of some time, I think it is important to say 
that while I probalby had to screw my courage up by thinking of the 
situation in pretty negative terms in order to follow thru and actually 
leave, it is important for me to now put some better perspective on it 
and not see my former partners or job in only negative terms - I met 
tons of incredibly intelligent, motivated people and learned a helluva 
lot; for the right person at the right time in life, it can be an 
awesome experience.  The real key to life is understanding that change 
is a good thing, and not allowing yourself to get trapped, or feel 
trapped once your heart starts nagging you about the need for a breath 
of fresh air.
