I imagine the consternation Frau Striet felt when she realised you'd scarpered and how many wardrobes and kitchen utensils she had to wash until she found some more help. Poor old Frau Striet.
It sounds like an adventure though, especially at that young age and I think the lesson learned was incredibly valuable, and certainly impactful.
I'm going down this path soon myself so I might give the simply disappear method of resignation a try. I'm sure my organisation will be so pleased! 😉
Also, I wonder, had your parents rented your room would they have booted the tenant out of your room and let you, a non-paying one, move in. 🤔
Also, I met with a client over the week, a lovely Irish woman, and had a nice productive meeting...if only I could understand a bloody word she said! 🫣 Made me think of you actually.
I wouldn't recommend the disappearance option as I've spent my life since trying to make up for this transgression.
My parents welcomed me with open arms declaring that they'd missed their most biddable skivvy, and as to impenetrable Irish accents, I give you this
Old Dermot huh? Didn't understand a word...that's how my whole meeting went the other day. 😋
Yeah, I'm not the disappearing sort of man, I have ethics and ownership and all so I'll resign properly and do my role until the end of the very last minute and work hard to leave it in good shape for the next person as dropping someone into what I had to face when I began with the organisation wouldn't sit well with me and I respect the up-chain more than to do such a thing. I'll still see a couple of them after I resign and would rather not have them want to cleave me in twain with an axe.
I assume because you were so adorable.
Indeed you don't seem the sort who'd run away...from anything.
And of course I'm adorable.
Only from T-Rex, those buggers scare me even despite those ridiculously short arms...but otherwise nope, no running away.
I heard you were and realistically there was little doubt, but the confirmation you supply here puts it beyond the shadow of a doubt.
