Thursday Thirteen #13-Thirteen Ways To Tell Your Boss You Quit.



This is my 13th TT. I’m not fond of the number 13 and today I have to tell my boss I quit due to a new job. I’m not good at doing this for some strange reason and considering she’s been really good to me, it makes it even more difficult.

13 Ways To Tell Your Boss You Quit

  • Disguise yourself in a George W. mask and tell her you’re off to save the worlds from “nucular” war.
  • Have a friend call in and explain how aliens abducted you and something about “probing.”
  • Tell her you finally won that damn Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes.
  • Clone yourself. This way, you’ll make more money.
  • Tell her she deserves more in an employee than yourself, and stomp out the door yelling something about the bugs crawling over your skin.
  • Send her a Strip-O-Gram.
  • Place an ad in the paper-especially helpful since I currently work for the paper.
  • You were chosen as a finalist on “America’s Got Talent.”
  • Your new religion forbids you to sit behind a computer all day.
  • Blogging has taken over your life and you refuse to bathe, get off the couch or have contact with the outside world.
  • Rednecks have kidnapped you and are demanding a ransom of beer, Dale Jr posters and pork rinds.
  • Explain to her that your intelligence level far surpasses anything the company can offer.
  • Uh, the truth.

      Thanks for the comments guys! She was so nice about the entire situation- I hated quitting that job because I loved working for her- she was a great boss, very friendly and knew I could do any job assigned to me. Although I was paid well per hour, the problem was I only received 20 hours if that a week and she could do nothing about it. She is keeping me in mind for anything that may open up and I’m going to call her from time to time to check in.
