New job & smooth resignation

Phew,what a relieve that i finally had my boss to accept my resignation letter.
I'm really lucky this year though i'm born in the year of cow (for chinese, it's not a very lucky year for cow).

Yesterday, i got 2 offers from 2 companies which i've went for the interview last week: 1 on wed & 1 on sat. The wed job was in 3 two square,PJ. Working hours from mon-fri: 9am-6pm. Offering me at RM2+++ plus RM 100 car allowance. First permanent accounts person there as it is a new company. AS for sat's job, it's at Ara D'sara. Working hours from mon-fri & alternate sats. Mon-Fri: 9am-6pm, Sat: 9am-1pm. Offering me at RM 22++. Both job is working as their only Accounts Executive. If it's you, which will you prefer?

After going for the sat interview, with no doubt i've decided on the wed's job. On mon, lady boss from sat's interview, called me to informed me that she has sent me the appointment letter through email & was hoping that i will fax her the letter. But i didnt want the offer. I was so panic as i was afraid that the wed's job is no longer vacant for me. So my colleagues advised me to call up the company to ask the manager on the offer. They said that this will also show that i'm concerned about the job & wanted to work for them. After waiting for quite sometime, thinking of the nicest way to ask, i called up the manager. Unfortunately, on my first try, he said he's in the meeting. Saying that he'll call me back. This make me even more nervous!!!
So i waited till 3.30pm, he really did call me back!!! Hope came then.....

He told me that i've been offered but didnt have time to inform me as they had meeting from morning. Then he asked me when can i resign from the current company as they really need ppl immediately. So i said i will tender my resignation the next day after the conversation with him. Feeling insecured, i asked him again whether he's really serious that he's offering me. Then he said "YES!". He even said that if i'm afraid, i can take the offer letter the next day. Hahaha......phew.....what a relieve after hearing that. Then he called back to ask whether i'm ok with the job scope. I said "Definitely!". Then he said that he's looking forward to seeing me on this wed to take the offer letter.

After i put down the phone, panic came again as i didnt know what or how to tell my current boss that i wanted a resignation. This is because i'm in this company since Feb 2009, means that i'm not even a month in this company, then i asked for a resignation! I'm sure all employers wouldnt like this kind of employees. I'm scared that they will blacklist me or scold me for not being serious & play a fool out of them. So i began writing my resignation letter once i'm back home. I searched the internet for all kinds of sample of resignation letter. Trying to find something not too firm & not too soft on the words in the letter. Honestly, resignation can be very simple but i wanted to give a good impression before i leave. I'm sure everyone out there will always leave with good impression during their resignation period. At least in future, there may be time, we may look back for our ex-boss for opportunity. Agree?

Then the day came.....where i've gotta hand over my letter to my boss. With nervousness & panic in me, i went to her room & told her i wanted to leave the company for studying purposes. Out of my expectation, she accepted it calmly & showed a very disappointing face to me. She even said that she liked me since the day of interview in Nov 2008 & really looking forward for me coming into their company. She said that she's in difficult situation now as she couldnt get anyone to vacant this position following my senior's resignation. 2 ppl in accounts dept resigned.....soon there will be 3rd person out of the company from accounts dept. So this means no one will be in accounts dept next month onwards. Only my senior who needs to complete her 2 months notice employment.

Sad for her as well because she has to be the only survivor & need to finish some urgent work which the datelines are in March. Hopefully she's able to survive till end of March without injuries.......^_^
