I quit my job today!

[pennypinch]

Hooray! I've never resigned from a job before, the feeling is absolutely cathartic. I was simply treading water at my current job, and with my plans to go to grad school in a few years, I was getting not one step closer.

New place will be more money, more job security, lousier IT, 1 week less paid vacation, and no internet nanny (phew!). Hooray, all the porn I want at work! :)

Seriously, this is something I've always wondered: who in their right mind would ring up porn at the workplace? Seriously?!?!

[renots]

U R now well on the path 2 learning the Ways of the Force...

Penny, maybe you're my boss and just didn't know it.

He resigned yesterday, and is moving on to a different university.

Lenny? Lenny, is that you?!

Lenny, you were, by far, the finest lavatory sanitation officer I have ever had the honor of being associated with. You will be sorely missed at my new job!

:D

[gwilks98]

Yeah, I'd like to follow in your footsteps, but I get promoted to assistant janitor auxillory operator in less than 2 months, so I think I'll ride this one out...

Oh yeah, I hope you don't mind....You know how you always used to keep a toothbrush in your desk drawer? Well, I was missing my scrubbrush and those bathrooms got mighty dirty over fourth of july weekend....Anyway, you didn't use that did you?
:D

[m0j0]

and i mean that in the way that they congratulated henry hill the first time he got pinched in "goodfellas"

"you broke your cherry!" :heh:

Hey, you think we use Outdoor fresh scent because it makes the bathrooms smell better? My breath is now like the morning dew! Thank you!

[gwilks98]

Those aren't certs, bud...

Seriously?!?!A few weeks ago, I had a user ask if I could burn a CD that he could send to a software vendor. I pulled the 600 Meg zip file out of his home directory and put it on my PC (since sucky CD creator didn't like burning big-ass files over the network) and gave it to him. Last week, I'm doing some housecleaning on my PC and I'm opening this zip file cause I don't remember why it's there or what it is and it was 600 meg of hardcore fun. Still haven't figured out what to do about that one...

[Chinpoko_Mon]

well.. at least it was hardcore fun.. and not 600 megs of this...

that is hysterical!

[m0j0]

someone needs to kill his barber

[welfareloser]

arrrgghhh!!! my eyes! my eyes! they're burning! somebody, please, STOP THE BURNING!!!!!!!!!

apparently, the barber who cut davy jones's hair (remember the monkees?) is still kickin.

seriously, tho, this guy's counter had over 144,000 hits. is he advertising himself, or is it just from the circulation of his url on boards like this one?

[gwilks98]

His barber happens to be the same guy who hairdressed the stooges, I'll have you know. I'd appreciate it if you'd use a little more respect.

:D

[Butch]

I guess I'll haveta throw out your work number now. No wonder you were telling me yesterday that your cell phone was the best way to reach you from now on.

[welfareloser]

my bad. stooge-hair-cutting is perfectly respectabobble.

so, congratulations on being a quitter! i love quitting jobs! i hope you downloaded porn onto everyone else's compooters before you left.

[gwilks98]

someone should tell Mr. Pan that Peter had it for Wendy...not tinkerbell.



Have fun at your new job penny. Will we be seeing more of you at this fabulous T1?

[pennypinch]

Oh yes. It's weird, their Net access is faster than what I have now, but their internal network is slower than frozen poo...frozen poo being one of the slower things I can think of.

I ain't goin' anywhere with respect to things around here. Might be a day or two interruption!

I say we find this "guys" parents and sue them for Copulation with Bad Results. Who's with me?

-OC
(hold the cards & letters folks - that was a joke.)

[ironchef]

so didja do it in a big fit of raging anger? or did you wuss out and submit a letter? :)

i only did the big fit of raging anger once. it was a blast. i was having a shouting match with my boss on the phone. he was at home and i was supposed to fax something to him. so i hung up the phone, wrote on the fax "as of 4:00 today, i'm outta here" and hit send. left my technician's shirt on my desk chair and walked out. that was the greatest feeling in the world!

[apmiller]

I'd quit my freakin job but I like that money stuff too much. Money. Is there nothing it can't do?

No it was pretty amicable, although I got the distinct sense when I was talking to my boss about the things that were bugging me of a certain "Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out" attitude. Basically, consulting is really cyclical; I have been sitting on my ass doing nuttin' for a few weeks, and just got fed up with it, along with a bunch of other things (my salary review did not go the way I wanted it to).

So, while I "wussed out" by e-mailing a letter, I think everyone involved would have been pretty dang surprised and confused if I'd gone out supernova style. I start at the new place Thursday.

[Chinpoko_Mon]

so what will u doing at your new job? aside from surfin' for porn... =P

[speedracer120]

See we get along so much better making fun of other fruits instead of bickering amongst ourselves.

Pennypinch, congrats on the new job. I just love leaving my old jobs. They always want me to stay and junk, but the feeling of blowing the ******* managers off is a real treat. Hope you were able to enjoy that sensation.
