Letter of Resignation

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to work at Microvision. I have enjoyed the previous week working here, however I was unexpectedly offered an internship working at NASA. I will be working on an autonomous robot at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. This new job is more along the lines of what I envision my future career to be. I am sorry that I will not be able to work here this summer. Once again thank you for the job opportunity, my last day at Microvision will be on the 2rd of June, 2006.

I was sitting at my desk minding my own business when I got a call from an unknown number. It turned out to be Dave Rosage from the NASA Office of Higher Education offering me a job at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland (the same place I worked last summer) starting June 5th. It would involve modifying the software of an existing robot to add functionality for new motor controllers and making a graphical control application. I said I that I was interested but I would have to think about it. I have until tomorrow to make a decision.

Pros:

  • It would be lots of fun
  • Looks good on resume
  • Great learning opportunity

Cons:

  • Have to leave home
  • Quit my current job
  • Not paid as much

Decisions, decisions, decisions.
