I'm going to quit my job of 8 years over text
Why are you going to quit over text?
Because it's easier and I want to do it without any emotions involved.
Understandably you may feel a range of emotions about leaving your job after 8 years. However, you should give the company a proper two week notice, major decisions like that should not be made over text. Handling the situation professionally will enable you to use the company as a reference for a new position.
I don't need to worry about that. I've never had a problem finding a new job. Job security is only a factor of your pay and I don't care about references, I'm going to be a movie star anyway.
I am glad that you have your life planned out but you are still hurting the people that you worked with because they will have to do more work because you left unexpectedly. You should at least care about that.
