    Default They took our Jerbs man!

    So today has been a pretty horrendous day for me, those of you who've spoken to me will know I've been very upset by a lot of things lately.

    Though one thing has definitely cheered me up! Today I got myself a new job and it's office based ok so it's still involving crappy hours and the pay isn't great but I can live with that until I get some experience in the field and move elsewhere.

    This meant that I got to place the phone call I enjoyed more than anything and quit the HMV job I had held for the past 4.5 years. It's a long overdue exit from the battlefield of that place. On to pastures new where I can become fat due to riding a desk all day. (only joking PG, it's like right around the corner from my gym)

    Lol actually I forgot to put the actual topic in this I've been so distracted today! So for a topic when was the last time you quit your job, did you bother with any pranks or did you just go quietly?

    The last job I quit, I put in my two weeks notice, then didn't show up for my last two shifts. No call/no show.

    Why?

    Because they were dicks to me, and I really didn't give a smurf. The funny thing is, I still go back there to eat.

    I used to work at a UPS. I have them a good 2 weeks notice, and left there on good terms. I had another job at the time that I also quit at an ice arena. See, I suddenly got offered a new job. They were less understanding about it. I still did my duties, but there were a couple of Saturdays that I didn't show up because training for my new job was more important.

    There might just be no better feeling than quitting a job you hate. Smiting bots is quite good too, but just not the same. Congrats Steve.

    Last job I quit was my call center job. I got something better and gave my two weeks, then proceeded to have the most relaxing two weeks I had at that job. I still did my job mind you, and I did it well, but not having to give a trout about my performance or anything made the job quite a relief for once. Best day was my last day when I ended up on the phone with some asshat from outside the country complaining about an issue which was caused by another cell phone company and not us. Had to stay on with him for about an hour and a half before he finally gave up. Not a single smurf was given that day let me tell you, though I did consider just hanging up on him a few times since there was nothing anyone could do. With my luck he would have called and gotten me again though.

    Congratulations! There's almost nothing better than getting that phone call to tell you you've got the job.

    I've never quit a job that angry with the management, so I've just given some notice and left. The last job I quit was a summer job at a small firm last year, but that had a planned end date, which doesn't really count.

    It's about job, Bert. You know, you get paid by getting screwed or you screw others and pay them.
