Getting more pissed

He he he. Dragon, you're killing me. I'm no football fan, but you're welcome to bunk at my place anytime you want to watch a game.

you talk to me enough, not only will you be demented, you will be a football fan

ooh another thought-do you all have vending machines there? go and "tilt" them, then they don't work any more-many developers pissed off...oh wait, you like the developers don't like the ivory tower guys...hmm, must rethink plan of approach...

Yep. Seed gave me the idea to switch the dry erase markers. I'm thinking that plan will be implemented. There are other plans in the works, but I better not say.

best to be able to claim, what do the politicians call it?? plausible deniability?

You want another good idea, FreeDuck?

Go to your local mega-bookstore (Barnes&Noble, Borders, etc.) and look for the Harry Potter display. Buy a box of the new "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans" that has only gross flavors. Stock the candy jar on your desk right before you leave on your last day. Then drive away, imagining the looks on their faces when they chomp down on a Rotten Egg-flavored one. Or Earwax. Or Booger. Or Soap. Or Earthworm. Or any of the five other sure-to-trigger-a-gag-reflex flavors for your enjoyment.

Oh gross. That is such a great idea. We have a sort of community treat area by the receptionist. I could put them up there and nobody would know who did it.

My son loves them. He peppers my husband's regular assorted Jelly Belly jar with them, so Hubby never knows if he's going to get a good one or a bad one.

Yep, they're nasty. I ate a vomit-flavored one on a dare once.

That's gotta be one of the world's worst jobs: taste-testing Bertie Botts!

Re: Getting more pissed

Wow -- you sound like I did during my last two weeks in the army. If it's any consolation, none of this will matter to you anymore once you're a week or two into your new job. In the mean time, I recommend darts, plus a photograph of Mr. College Genius on your office wall.

Stay a bit late the night you leave...(this works best if it is a long weekend).

Go into your boss's office after the **** head leaves, with a large bucket of water.

Douse his carpet.


Scatter grass seeds.


Exit.


Don't get seen.

Thomas, you're funny. And right.

Dlowan, that is probably the most creative thing I've every heard. Why do I get the feeling you've tried it before?

Not I!!!!!!


'Twas on a TV show that was made in England.....about dealers, you know, the ones who buy and sell billions worth of stocks and such, and make money for their banks, or somesuch.


One of the fella's exes did it to him.

Gotta leave the fluorescent lights on, I imagine...

exit tricks?

milk poured into a cloth chair. (preferrably your bosses)
In a week the entire office will smell sour and so will he.. every day..

send magazine subscriptions to his office, in his name with " bill me later ' checked. make em porn mags, gay pride magazines etc..

auperglue all the pens closed in his desk

let a small grass snake loose in his office, or some small white lab mice..

break a raw egg into his carpet in a hidden corner

sign up his phone extension number on TONS of websites. Spam sites and phone interviews.

shewolf, you are a wicked woman! Why do I have this strong hunch you're speaking from experience?

Freeduck. Good luck! You deserve it. You current employers certainly don't deserve you!

My two cents, just go, don't look back, don't try to get revenge, even though you won't be seeing these people again ('cause your colleagues will prolly bear the brunt of the fury, while the golden boy slides away, scot-free; this always happens).

And I wouldn't sue, as you don't have a lot of damages if you are already set up with another gig in another state for better money. These suits do better if you are still stuck in the same job in the same town. No problems contacting the BBB and certainly talk about them on Vault and any other message board you like in order to warn fellow coders, but I would not sue as it will (a) drag things out and (b) force you to continue to deal with these people long after you should be making the break and getting on with the rest of your life.

Go. Don't look back. And laugh maniacally while departing, just to scare 'em.

FreeDuck--

You are taking farewell snapshots of all these people for your Halloween decorations, aren't you?

Not for germinating.

Chia carpet!

Hee hee hee.

I talked to my teammates -- the ones I care about -- yesterday and they all understand. I even told them I'd give them my email and phone number so they can call me when they get in a pickle. Tech lead was happy about that. They totally understand why I have to leave and have said they'd do the same under my circumstances.
