Two weeks notice:

I just gave my notice at my job today. My last day will be Sept. 19, coincidentally the same day as Talk Like a Pirate Day. This has some real possibilities.

I will miss this job. Even though the work is hardly the most interesting thing I've done, the people have been really great. I got a very nice email from one of my bosses when I told her I was quitting.

This is the first job I've worked at where I gave notice like this. In the lab or for the math department my jobs have just sort of ended. It's been the end of the quarter and it's time for me to go. At the movie theater, I just tell whoever's doing the schedule, "hey, don't schedule me after x- date." This job I had to go into my boss' office and tell him I'm leaving. Even though they weren't surprised or anything, and really I work for the temp agency and not for Concentra at all, it was still kind of hard. Then I didn't tell my direct supervisor because I wanted to tell her boss first, and she left for the day and I ended up not getting to tell her at all. She must have heard from someone else. I feel bad about that.

I won't miss some of the idiots who call though. I answered the phone the other day with our long spiel and after I finished the woman on the other end said: "wow, you don't have an accent!" like "aren't you special?" I guess she assumed that since she was calling the Atlanta office she was going to get Scarlett O'Hara or something.
