Nah, I'd wear that just to answer the phone.
I'm tooling around Skyrim in an enchanted Ebony Helmet[^] to go with the Ebony Mail[^] I'm quite fond of.

Ever tried the expansions or the special edition? On the island of Solstheim I 'inherited' a Dunmer house at Raven Rock which is by now stuffed full up to under the roof with stuff. A lot has changed there ever since I helped to get Raven Rock built (in Morrowind/Bloodmoon). Anyway, being a very modest Elf, I can't run around like a barbarian, like everybody else. Early in the game the Thalmor always donate some armor, which I improve a little and that ought to be enough for every occasion.

No, I haven't got any of the DLC yet - I'm still on the main quest (heck, I haven't decided between the Stormcloaks and the Legion yet!) I am in charge of the thieves, assassins, and mages though.

I have a house too, but forgotten where it was, maybe it's the one at Raven Rock. So stay out of my house

Could it be that you were the previous owner I had to evict from that house and you now live in Sovngarde? Funny, but I don't remember seeing you when I was there. My visit was not long enough to shake hands with everyone there. Barely enough time for some smalltalk and then I had to kill Anduin and was sent home afterwards.

That sounds like a plausible explanation, wish I wasn't that senile and could remember where my house was, it was stuffed with goodies too

If you don't have expansions, then it's most probably the house in Whiterun. Just try the door. If it opens then it's your house.

No, I have the expansions, and already tried Whiterun, I had a house there in another life as an Orc though ...

I recently accepted an offer from company A. I didn't have time to wait for company B as the offer would expire. Sure enough company B made me an offer that I can't refuse. I'm comfortable with my decision, but I don't know a good/professional way to tell company A that I've reconsidered. You can find things like resignation letter examples on line, but I don't see any examples of this.
Ideas? Suggestions?

There is no good\professional way of doing this as what you are doing is unprofessional (sorry, but it is!). Just tell them succinctly that you're declining as you got another offer. Also check the small-print of anything you have signed or agreed to in case there is anything covering this.

No apologies necessary. I'm aware of this. You can see details below if you want.
I think mentioning another offer may be more information than is needed. I may just tell them I've reconsidered and decided it's not going to work.
FYI:
There was a relocation package on the table the entire time. Through the process they decided to put me in for a different job than I was approached with, and then I "qualified" for one level down from that. This meant the pay was less as well as no relocation package. I was going to do it anyway because there's a sign on bonus that would cover it but I'd have to live there myself until my first check and then bring the family.

So Company A proposed jobOne with great stuff but then switched you to jobTwo with not so great stuff? Company B then came along with better stuff?
Sounds like you are doing the right thing since Company A was doing some bait and switch on you, shaky ethics on their part too.

What is complicated in my mind is I "formally" accepted. I didn't do any paperwork yet though. There are forms and a drug screen I have to do in order to be truly hired.
But yes, your description sounds right.

Just be honest and tell Company A what just happened. You have no obligation to go through if you haven't take any of the sign-on bonus money. Situation like happens all the time. If Company A doesn't understand that, you wouldn't want to work for them anyway. What you need to do is weight on which job or company is better in the long run.

I actually had the same situation where the job with Company A was offered and I accepted as Company B was taking too long - then Company B finally came back with a much, much, much better offer and I told Company A that I would not be starting with them after all. I did this as soon as possible so as to give them chance to reach out to other candidates. They came back with a higher offer and an earlier start date but it still didn't match up. I knew from what they had already told me that this new offer would just mean a delay in any later pay raise anyway as they had fairly strict policies as to how much they would pay a given position.
Up to the point where they pay you some money for relocation or you actually start work or whatever, there should be no problem with saying, "I've reconsidered and my best opportunity is elsewhere, thanks, goodbye." This is not unprofessional.
I've had people come to join our team and quit after four hours. That was unprofessional.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

In this case simply tell them that you've reconsidered and have decided to decline. Make sure Company B's offer is still on the table. You were given what appears to be a bait and switch by company A - they will continue to do so.

No issue here - "upon further thought I've decided the job you offered is not what I am looking for" and be done with it. They apparently reconsidered too else they would not have switched jobs after the interview.
In a year's time no one will even remember it happened.

Apart from maybe accepting the alternate offer too quickly, I see no fault on your part. Company A should accept it if you tell them you reconsidered. If they're professional they shouldn't bother you by asking for a reason (it might be obvious anyway after they shoved you to a different job).
It would be different if they offered you the job you applied for. But even then: it's your and your family's future that depends on this decision - nobody has the right to question that as long as you're not breaking any contract.
