reason number three hundred and forty two that i am a complete tool
I just called Alex, “I am just swamped, and it’s snowing, and I don’t know how I am going to get home and I can’t get all of this work done by the end of the day and now, they want to have this going-away party for me at 4:15 PM and I really don’t have time, because I have all this paperwork I have to finish. I think I am going to have to stay late.”
IT’S MY LAST DAY AT THIS JOB. EVER. PLEASE, SOMEBODY, REACH THROUGH THE COMPUTER SCREEN AND SHAKE SOME SENSE INTO ME.

I just turned in my resignation letter this afternoon, and you know what I did after that? Started planning the 30th anniversary party for the boss...the day after my last! What the f*&^ to I care? Trust me, we all do it.

Take a deep breath. Have a going away cupcake, then take the paper work and put a big pretty bow on it with a note that says "For the next sucker."

Too late to do you any good, but after I gave notice at my last job, I spent the remaining time skipping around saying "What are you going to do? Fire me?" and then cackling maniacally.

Well, it's better than being a partial tool...isn't it?
