And a long lunch.

[MrCoffee]

4. loot the supply room

[Richard Steele]

26. Damn right! Whether you need or want the supplies is irrelevant; it's about respect for TRADITION!

I can't believe that wasn't on the poll. These kids today, sheesh!

[Zephyrbird]

5. Piss in the corner of the office manager when she isn't looking.

A little something to remember me by. It wasn't fun, working with an alcoholic.

[KitchenWitch]

6. Call in well!

[TZ]

7. Do whatever you think will

tick off the annoying coworker (and everybody usually has one) the most..And make sure to say..
"what are they gonna do, fire me?" lots and lots of times....:)

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. Where's the 'Hide the evidence' choice?

[NoodleBoy]

9. that would be "work"

[XemaSab]

10. Word.

[triguy46]

12. Sit and ponder, "If I've deleted the porn on my computer, is it really gone?"

[triguy46]

11. Sober up so you can drive home.

13. Starting the last week:

No shaving, and increasingly casual dress, until you show up on Friday (for a final half-day) in shorts, Birks, T-shirt, and shades...at a (then) Big Six accounting firm.

Pass main conference room as you are exiting, and realize all employees are in some sort of meeting. Inquire about meeting and be told that an "Image Consultant" is meeting with all employees for a "Dress for Success" seminar and, I absolutely-swear-to-God, personalized (at $90 an hour) shopping advice.

Nearly hyperventilate with laughter in front of conference room window and exit stairwell, stage right. Reach parking deck, phone wife, relay above story, and pull ab muscle with raucous laughter. After you can see through the tears, tell self, "Yes, oh, God, YES, did you ever make the right decision."

14. you win.

game over.

[mikeytherat]

15. I'm sure no one at the firm told me about impending the Image Consultant BS

because they knew I'd spend my last 14 days mocking them mercilessly.

:evilgrin:

17. Ah you just reminded me of something I did when I was

about to leave a similar sounding type of firm. I went around asking the question all of us wanted to ask but nobody had the courage to.."So wtf does a Director of Functional Excellence do anyway"............:rofl:

[kath]

23. "Director of Functional Excellence"?!?! Are you SERIES?!!1!1

OMFG.


What was the answer you got to your question? Inquiring minds REALLY want to know.

[TZ]

24. True story

Nobody really knew...except that the guy they brought in originally for the job was "let go" several months later. The popular theory was, his job was to improve metrics (ie statistics). This was a six sigma company (poorly implemented) and they seemed to be more concerned with hitting statistical goals(in our labs case god help us if our turn around time dropped 1% from week to week) and pinching pennies than actually doing quality science (a biotech place)

[guitar man]

16. take a dump in a shoe box

right before you leave, put it in an inconspicious hiding place close to the air intake on the central air system :evilgrin:

[DarkTirade]

18. Make it casual attire day.

And by 'casual' I mean 'nudist'.

[Blue-Jay]

19. Upper-decker.

[KamaAina]

20. Pull the D's off all the keyboards

assuming your last day of work before retiring to Crawford to clear brush is 1/19/09, that is. :evilgrin:

[momophile]

21. hook all the paperclips together

damn that's annoying.

[RoyGBiv]

22. Funny you should ask ...

My last day was today. New job starts in a week and a half.

I spent most of it experiencing my supervisor engaged in a game of passive aggressive whining, trying to convince me I was somehow morally wrong for having resigned so suddenly, even though I'd informed them I would be doing so two months ago. They were just on the verge of promoting me and raising my salary. (Yeah. Heard that a year ago.) They'd pulled strings to get it done. (Yeah. Heard that too.) They are really short handed, and this is a bad time. (Yeah, so maybe you shouldn't have laid off all those people who were perfectly competent but who, according to your theories, didn't have the proper sales ethic. And by "proper sales ethic" I mean willing to lie and cheat without batting an eyelash.)

This was actually kinda fun because I had the freedom to respond to it the way I wanted, e.g. by saying, "Well, maybe you should have laid off all those people ..."

The supervisor's real problem is he doesn't know how to do my job and has spent the last year ignoring my requests to train a backup so I could do something like, oh, take a day off without coming back and finding a disaster I'd spend the next week fixing. His next few weeks are going to be pure hell. I'm having trouble shedding a tear.

I spent the rest of the time making sure all the copies of the Excel spreadsheets and Word forms I'd created myself to help me with that job were deleted, then browsed YouTube and read the news for awhile. I did make sure all the supplies were stocked, essential information was in easily accessible locations, and that certain people in other departments and vendors knew I wasn't going to be there so they wouldn't be shocked by what's coming.

Gawd I'm glad to be out of that place. My new job has no sales or marketing aspect. I feel clean again.

[Heidi]

25. Congratulations on your new job!

:thumbsup:

[RoyGBiv]

30. Thank you ...

It was a crazy ride getting it, starting back in July. Negotiated salary on Thursday and got the official offer after two weeks of being assured it was mine "pending human resources approval," which could have meant anything.

I really wanted to go to work Friday wearing a t-shirt and boxers. Fridays are supposed to be "casual day," and that's my definition of casual. :)

(I did take my stapler.)

27. Leave this running on your computer

Most infuriating earworm, ever.
