UPDATE 2: So-- was Jenny fake? Afraid so. In a followup post on theChive.com , "Jenny" revealed that she was an LA-based actress named Elyse Porterfield, and hired by theChive.com to produce the comedy site's latest viral hoax. Not a bad way to drive traffic.

In the same entry, co-founder John Resig encourages readers to check back with the site for updates on how Porterfield is "as smart as she is sexy."

UPDATE: Was Jenny fake? All Things Digital's Peter Kafka seems to think so, after interviewing the owners of theChive.com , which "broke" the story. Turns out that John and Leo Resig were the same guys behind the fake Donald Trump story back in 2007 .

PREVIOUSLY: We've heard of some pretty crazy ways to quit your job , but one woman's use of a tell-all dry erase board takes the cake.

"Jenny the Assistant" quit her job yesterday by sending a company-wide email with photos of her resignation letter written in a series of hilarious dry erase board posts, which are chronicled in full at the Chive . (Hat tip to Dealbreaker)

Check out all the photos at the Chive , but here's the short version:

"Jenny," an assistant to a broker named Spencer, said she had put up with his bad breath and temper for two years because she wanted to be a broker. But she decided to quit when she heard her boss call her a "HOPA" on the phone.

A what? A "Hot Piece of Ass," she determined, perhaps from Urban Dictionary .

In the photo essay, she goes on to disclose Spencer's use of his time, which she discovered by tapping into a loathed monitoring system he had set up: four hours a week of Scottrade, and 19.7 hours a week of Farmville . No wonder why she wanted to be a broker.

Check back with the Chive for updates on Jenny's last name, for which it is working its contacts, it claims.
