Farewell, Goodbye, Happy Trails - My recent departure
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Happy Trails
Hi everyone –
As most of you know today is my last day at XXXXXXX and I couldn’t leave without imparting some of my personal brand of humor.
I have decided to become a professional pirate. It has always been a dream of mine to live the life of a swashbuckling corsair, beholden to none and master of all I survey. Once my crew of unabashed rogues is assembled, we shall take to the capacious expanse of the high seas to pursue fortune, fame, and hair-raising adventure.
Our path may not be filled with the porcine comforts and technological marvels that (company name) provides, but we shall nonetheless move forward to carve a name for ourselves in the annals of bold insurgency and death-defying derring-do. Once I have a keen blade at my hip and the Jolly Roger is flapping high above me, I believe I will find my true calling.
Please note that I am currently accepting applications for First Officer, if you are at all interested in applying. I will provide a full medical and dental plan, which will offer immediate coverage of all maladies other than scurvy and the occasional bout of rickets.
Seriously, I’ve got a great offer I simply couldn’t refuse. My time at XXXXXXX has been challenging and educational. I wish you all the best of luck.

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.

I wish you all happy trails!

Arrgh!!
Melissa,
So yu've (vernacular...) decided to become a PROFESSIONAL Pirate now, have ye? As opposed to the talented amateur ye've been thus far, i take it? Well lass, 'tis me considered opinion that Pirates ever'ware will be dancin' a jig, just knowin' ye've come to join them full time! So, ye mentioned that ye may have a wee openin' fer a first mate, then? I'd be interested in openin' discussions concernin the position. I've got me own parrot, a wooden leg and a full barrel o' limes all ready and waitin' on the wharf (Homeland security is a wee bit suspicious at this point, mind ye...)and Itoo am ready to sail for the Spanish Main, or even just OUR Maine (it's closer, and i get terrible seasick, I do.) What kinda vesselss did ye have in mind as "targets of opportunity", anyway? Those durned Somalis have already manged to muck up everthin' fer all of us by takin' all them tankers. That raises the question, "How DO a buncha guys in a 28 ft rowboat hijack an oil tanker anyway"? Well, perhaps we can pick up a few of 'em on our way, assumin' o'course I get the job as first mate. Or even cabin boy, as I'm willin' to work me up in the organization! Please let me know yer thoughts Cap'n...
Larry
