    tell them you're starting a tour boat company on Lake Superior called "Captain Suggs' Wacky Boat Rides" and that you are willing to comp them a free lunch on off-season tours. It worked for me.

I don't want you to protest, I don't want you to riot, I don't want you to write to your congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression, the inflation, the Russians, or the crime in the streets. All I know is that first...You've got to get mad!"

    Ask for some ridiculous benefits, like 15 weeks paid vacation, or a company car & house allowance, or a really really big chair, or that job promotion you've always wanted, then give them an ultimatum. Who knows they might want just give it to you and then the job might be worth it.

    I've got to agree with the cracker here.

    Edit: Anxiously awaiting whelk response.

    Would it be below the whelk to make an appearance in the max gosey identity crisis thread? I can't think of a more deserving cause for bukkake death from above.

    It is not so much how you tell them as much as what you leave them with. Do not burn any bridges as you may need to use them again in the future. Only leave with them thinking positive thoughts of you not all of the bullshit they won't even care about after you have left.

    Shit, I sound just like my parents...

    I decided to adopt more of the Peter Gibbons style. He has become an idol of mine through my last 4 years in corporate life. So the conversation went something like this.........

    FOS: I uh, I don't like my job, and, uh, I don't think I'm gonna go anymore.
    Boss : You're just not gonna go?
    FOS : Yeah.
    Boss : Don't you think I will fire you?
    FOS : I don't know, but I really don't like it, and, uh, I'm not gonna go.
    Boss: So you're gonna quit?
    FOS : Nah-uh. Not really. Uh... I'm just gonna stop going.
    Boss : When did you decide all that?
    FOS : About an hour ago.
    Boss : An hour ago... so you're gonna get another job?
    FOS : I don't think I'd like another job.


    Just kidding, it went really well. no bridges burnt, all is well. 10/22 is my last day here. Look out Missoula. I'm going to schralp the shit out of Snowbowl and Lost Trail

    I just can't believe the thread got to this point without even a mention of an upper-decker.

    Lolo Pass has awesome sled skiing. And it gets much more snow than Bridger and Snowbowl....maybe the same or more as Lost Trail, not sure.
