I've tendered my resignation

This afternoon, at around 3.30pm.

I know my colleagues dont mean any harm, but the moment they saw me with my resignation letter they ask me why I resigned so hastily when the difference is just 15 days.

As per my resignation today, my last day would be on 13nov. If I didnt, my last day would be on 30th.

My colleagues immediately ask me why I want to tender my resignation? Work till the end of my contract expiry la!

Exactly like how I expected, nobody believes I can find a job and get out of this company. Especially this quick.

Except kenny. He just read the letter for me to see if my choice of words is ok. I thought of letting him read first before showing to boss. He just asked me I'm quitting ar? Going where? Starting when? None of the skeptism.

Is it a wonder why I like kenny so much? If he is my direct lao ban, it would be so much harder to bear to leave this company. I am just so very glad I had a chance to get to know such an easy-going lao ban.

I was really nervous about how to break the news to boss. It is my first formal resignation and I really dunno how to 开口. But in the end, I sticked with what I've thought about earlier.

"老板，谢谢你十五个月来的照顾."

Like what meow say lor. The moment I say that it is very obvious already. So I went ahead with it.

Boss' first question was to ask why do I want to quit when my contract is ending soon? (See?!!?!) I told him I've found another job and the company wants me to start immediately but I've informed I need to serve 1 mth notice.

He went on to ask what kind of company is that, am I satisfied with the terms and conditions? I deliberately wanted him to feel bad, so I told him, "It's ok lor, but it is a perm job, I cant refuse a perm position."

I originally chuckled with meow and obasan, plotting to tell boss I am getting a just-as-good-pay and everything was to my utmost satisfaction. In the end I ended up deciding to make him feel bad instead. Whahahahaha.

Boss said he would really want to convert me to a perm if he can, but there was really no opportunity. Boss asked if suddenly there are positions openings will I be interested? I told him frankly. I am looking for a perm job, and at the job that I am going to, I only gave them my verbal confirmation, but hadnt signed the appointment letter.

I told him, if there are perm positions I would be glad to stay. I must leave (and refused to extend my agony in the form of contract period) because I know I cant be converted to a perm where I am.

Boss said he noted that and he would see what turns up. Guess that means if there is sudden openings, he will still recommend me.

心领了.

He also said he regretted converted me to a contract when I was just a temp. If so I wouldnt have wasted my time here. I told him nevermind, it wasnt anybody's prediction that the department will turn out like this.

I feel quite touched (like I always do when people are nice to me) that he said that. Prove that he is not really bo sim lor. At least he more or less knows I have been doing a good job and he would retain me if it was to his capacity. What more do I want?

I know. A fantastic testimonial would be fine. Muahahahahaha.
