Luck?
Luck is for people without skills, connections, and cunning.

Hehe
I made a mistake in an email to the new HR person, which was essentially telling her she made a mistake.
I caught it on review the next day.
I sent a followup:
Hi {{HR PERSON}}.
> Note: The start date cannot be correct, it says Monday, October 2, but
> October 2 is a Sunday.
Ahh, my first silly mistake . I was looking at a 2005 calendar.
Upon review I see you are right, of course.
Humbled,
{{ME}}

And you skills connections and cunning
are what made your last job go so smoothly there at the end?
Seems to me you had a bit of bad luck forcing your move.

In the end the best liar wins
At least for the short term. And if you can bury the bodies, you can last a very long time. My exit interview is on Friday. My current boss wants me to burn bridges - it'll help him since it is his boss that is causing the pain.
But I'm not going to. I might end up working for this guy sometime down the line, and I sure don't want his last memory of me to be me throwing grenades at him.
