i came in at 8 am, and handed my letter of resignation. said "for what it's worth, thanks." cleaned my desk and got the fuck outta there. got home, put on 'exile on main street' real loud and began my career as a _______.
never looked back & loving it.

the boss said he was in a good mood and at 11:15am sent us all to tgi fridays for lunch. it was a beautiful day and he wanted us all to walk across the street to enjoy it. he'll be there in a bit.
he never showed.
when we got back to the office all out computers were locked and pink notices of termination were on all our desks.
he sat behind each of us and watched us as we burned our personal files to cds.
he missed me deleting a few key dll and program files. when he went to the can to 'drop the kids off at the pool' as he called it, i removed most of the ram and the two slave hard drives. i also stuffed two spindles of blank cds and whatever else i could into my backpack.
fucker.
i found a job a week later but some people didn't. people were crying and yelling. i just sat there saying to myself 'karma is a bitch, he'll get his.'
years later he's broke, divorced, can't see his kids, an addict and had most of his personal possessions repo'd.
fucker.
you're day was better than mine no?!?
haha.

the company did some big work and for a while the incident made it to fucked.com which used to be a dot bomb haven for companies that really fucked up.
the guy who owned the company was a walgreen and had so much money it was pathetic. now it's all but gone. his parents cut him off.

my most recent last day was last month, a different co-worker had given in their 3 weeks and the vp kept this info to themselves. an overseas development trip was scheduled to travel to china for a month and a half, and this trip was planned months earlier, and the best part was that i wouldnt be going, so as it turned out the other co-worker who had already quit, well i was put in his place in going to china, but the thing waas they never told me i was to go, so i had no time to prepare for the trip...this was a thursday, and the tripe was planned to leave on the monday...the friday was a holiday and it didnt seem they were giving me notice to me leaving on the trip.
well i found out the nasty way by my merchandizer in china calls me on my cell saying how happy she will be to see me...of course i was like WTF??? im not comming on this trip...and she said and emailed me my flight itinerary which she has had for over 2 weeks.
i completely lost it after that, i felt so hurt that the company that i had put the last 4 years of my life into would treat me this way, that i stormed into the vice presidents office fumming...i got all in his face with extreme predjudice!!!! and demanded what his excuse for this was, and he had none, but he couldnt take the fact i was right in his face and that he couldnt look me in the eye, he said "well if you dont like then you can leave right now!"
i fucking smiled the big one! threw him my swipe card and left!!!
it was the greatest day of my life!!!!
i not only got work within a week, i quadrupled my salary!!!
the best thing that ever happened to me!!
your friends you made will always be there if they trully were your friends...if not fuck em and move on and make newfreinds!
good luck!!
:)

i'm considering letting this be my last day. my letter's printed out and i'm ready to roll...if i didn't want to avoid a gap in income i'd do it, but things are getting so shitty here i might just suck that up.
i hate it here

(Sep 14 05, 09:28)you're wasting time. be brave.
- -sputnik-0
i'm brave, but responsible...you know, mortgage and all :(
if you had the chance to take those who made your life hell down with you, would you? i am struggling with either walking away and being the better person, or nailing my bosses to the wall.
