why you need to WAIT to quit
why can't you just not turn up?
tell them you're leaving - don't show up. what will they do to punish you? fire you for not showing up?

Also it means that I quit, as opposed to get fired - looks very different on a CV.

My stepdad left his job at Focus, he gave them a letter and everything, but he couldn't leave for another two weeks!
It's madness!

but they'll escort me off the premises because I have full access to the servers :) So they can't really let me work an extra week.
Also if you don't work your notice period, they can withhold pay (it's usually in your contract).

but applied to 8 jobs today and I have freelance work I can do for the moment.
Besides which they have to legally give me a week's notice which means an extra week of pay during which I can jobhunt.

I'm not quite going to do that, but I will give them a self-satisfied smirk as I leave the room.

Have you got any full eye contacts? You should do if you don't
9mmsfx.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=MBS&Category_Code=MLA These ones would really suit you, IMO

9mmsfx.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=9SE&Product_Code=H&Category_Code=SL1 I really want these, plus they're quite cheap.
9mmsfx.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=9SE&Product_Code=F&Category_Code=SL1 these keep wanting me to buy them though.
