I\'m giving my boss 2-weeks notice today.

You probably timed it all wrong.  Wait another week and she\'d be a whole new woman.

Well, my boss acted like we were married and I was cheating on her.  Man, girl bosses get so emotional.

Judging by what you have told me about this lady in the past, I expected she wouldnt take it so well.  They all sound a little unstable around there.  You could always come back with us  Im sure there would be a pay increse, and you wouldnt have to work with Ann anymore haha!

I\'ll take care of the "benifits"

Would I have to drive a forklift and sort never-ending rolls of vinyl?....



Sure, sign me up.  J/K

I just found out that I was accepted into a position at another company.  My boss hasn\'t come into work yet today, but when she does, I have to break the news to her.

I\'m nervous because I\'ve been with this company for 5 years and I am leaving my comfort zone.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to the "best way" to give my notice?  Before or after lunch?  Should I be apologetic or just state the facts?

What? Are you banging her? I say nuts to the boss. Just tell her the facts and say that you are getting a better job and that you are sorry you have to leave. And if she\'s hot, try and bang her

I hope you really like your new place of work.  Job hopping has a tendency to look unfavorable on a resume.

Well, it\'s Monday and she seems to have calmed down over the weekend.  Now, she\'s just trying to gather every project she can think of for the year and have me complete them all in the next 2 weeks.

WOW.  Lucky you.  hopefully she doesnt make your life hell for the next 2 weeks.

It\'s only as Hellish as I let it become.  There\'s no logical reason for me to push myself harder than usual.  It\'s not like I\'m trying to impress the company that I am leaving.

aren\'t you afraid of losing your job security?  i mean, 5 years at a company is a pretty long time

Yes, I know I could be at my current job forever if I felt like never getting a raise ever again.

What exactly did you do at your old job?

I design and produce all of the print, and web marketing material for a Golf and Tennis Resort.  

I work solo and take care of all of their in-house stuff as well as AD\'s, Billboards, postcards, brochures and maintain their website.

Now, I\'ll be doing the same for a different company.

My boss asked me today if I would be available to do freelance work for them when I am gone.  She also let me know that if I ever wanted to come back, I am welcome to.

She was a lot calmer today than Friday.  I think a lot of what she said on Friday was out of anger because she felt hurt by me leaving.

awww.  Well hey, looks like you may have the chance to make even more money.  Looks like you have a great thing going for you now.  Your Rich BEOTCH

I\'m leaving my job in 3 days because of a sport. I don\'t feel like taking on a job and practice 6 days a week. I\'m not sure if I\'m gonna come back or if I\'ll find a better paying job.
