[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A normal person makes up something to say in response to the obvious question everone will ask. It doesn't have to be true. "I'm going to spend a few weeks thinking about what I want to do next" or "My mom needs some help for a bit" or "I'm superstitious and I want to wait until I start my new job to say anything."

Literally anything except "Nunya." [b]Being weird about leaving means the last thing they'll remember about you is how weird you were.[/b][/quote]
Oh, no -- People I'm never going to see again will think I'm weird?  [i]What ever will I do?[/i]

Well, everyone badgered me when I resigned, and I never told a soul.  They had a goodbye lunch for me, and for a full hour, people tried to guess where I was going and what I was doing.  No one was even close.

Anyhoo, years later when I decided to go back to "the real world," those same people were my reference.  I didn't hesitate to serve up their names, and I didn't even think to give them a heads-up.  Yeppers, I was hired.  I'm weird?  That's obvious to everyone.[/quote]
