First Paragraph

The last time I tried to quit my job I was turned down - on the grounds that I was incompetent. My resignation letter was returned with editing marks circling the typos, inventive spellings, infinitives split so wide they would never heal. It was all rather embarrassing, considering that I was a writer for a newspaper.
