F: Hey Boss, you know I told you last year that I was going to leave... well now I am leaving..
B: Whaaaaaaaaatttt?? You're kidding!! Why??
F: Well you know, I just don't want to work for money - I tried to live as lavishly as I get paid but the cheap ass simpleton inside me is too strong...
And besides I wanna be some kind of healer.. You know - help people in a meaningful sort of way....yeah..
B: Come on.. you help people here.. They all love you... You make such a big difference in their lives..
F: (In my head: Yeah - Fixing peoplez PC's so that they can do their jobs better and make exponentially more money for the nameless faceless corporation on its path to exactly what?? - Its not even Macs that I am fixing - at least that would have some cool redeemable points)
Yeah Boss, and I like them too but I want more - I demand more - and computers just ain't part of my life orientation...per say...
B: Thats cool - I remember when I was your age - you just have little pieces of your puzzle that you need to fill in - You need to go and see things and have adventures...So what are you gonna do??
F: Im'ma just go walkin', yes Indeed... Perhaps out the east coast way or down in Mexico... I like burritos..alot - or maybe go planting and meditating in the BC interior.. I once heard a monk, when asked about what to do about the world being destroyed in the next 50 years, say 'just plant trees'.. works for me
B: What about a leave of absence... You can take a few months - I can see if HR will go for that - the summers are slow anyway...Besides you need to be sure about what you are going to do when you leave here.
F: I'll keep that in mind Boss, but I am pretty sure about this. Because I take responsibility for my actions, I rarely regret any decision that I take.
B: You're giving up a lot
F: Yeah, I suppose...But think of all the cool stories I will have to tell when I get back..
