[CS-FSLUG] Gave notice

[Jason Franklin]

Nathan,

I am praying for you.  I too just turned in two-weeks.  While I did  
write my own letter, it was vague and gave only half an explanation.   
I didn't tell them the part about my being fed up with managerial  
incompetence (especially since my boss is a VP), nor that my role  
doesn't belong in that department of the company (much less that the  
company as a whole should leave off computers all together and go back  
to pen and paper since they're still stuck in that mode).

As for your specific situation, as Ed mentioned, none of us can really  
say yea or nay to what you did.  We can pray for you and counsel you  
to fully rely on God for your day to day now.
