so, you're quitting your job...

yes, after many months of whining, worrying, and moaning, it is finally my last week at roth's friendly foodliners. unfortunately, this has brought on a lack of motivation the likes of which i have never seen. when i actually manage to squeeze out a new sign, it usually looks like dung, but i can't muster up the heart to even care. luckily for me, my idea of what looks like dung looks pretty ok to the average grocery-shopper and/or worker, so i'm safe.

the great thing about it being my last week is that i (pretty much) don't have to worry about getting fired by my arch-nemesis, the store manager. this has made it oh-so-easy for my quick-witted, smart-ass comments to come flying out whenever i am in his presence, or even the presence of several other managers. this week, it's all about getting the laughs and serving up the wit, and i finally don't have to worry about the consequences. in the spirit of this new-found freedom, brian and i spent the better part of tonight's dinner discussing ways to go out with a bang that i probably won't be trying...

* hanging out in the breakroom and dropping scandalous comments/telling outlandish stories about coworkers

* filling the bottom of any and all utensil buckets with glue

* placing a chalk sign of dave in a dress in the entryway and waiting to see how long it takes for him to notice

* dumping water in dave's office and saying, "sorry, i left the water running in your office." (he once did that to me while i was working in the cafe and didn't clean it up)

got any other fun ideas? feel free to send them my way. however, i am expecting absolutely no response, because, as lloyd says in my new favorite movie, say anything, "if you start out depressed, everything's kind of a pleasant surprise." i freaking love that movie. i think it's time to watch it again.
