I am leaving my job of five and a half years at the end of the month
And moving to pastures new. The parting is on good terms- my boss is extremely supportive and the like but I'm faking one key thing.

That I remotely still care about the day to day responsibilities of this job.

My post rate on various fora have increased by several hundred percent, I've been dicking around with Google Earth add ons and my gameplay at "Desktop Tower Assault" is really coming on. I go through the motions of caring- I'll generally reply to emails and if you need technical support on our stuff, it will likely be me that provides it but honestly I couldn't give a shit.

My manager (as distinct from my boss) is soiling himself over the fact that I'm not putting enough down in writing and leaving "gaps in his knowledge" (translated as he has suddenly realised all the undesirable stuff he's been palming off to me is going to bite him hard on the arse come August) but the information is all there, I just cannot be arsed to spoonfeed him it. Given the choice between writing out yet another sheet of stock support answers and reading through the QOTW archives, I'll be studying the collective works of Mr Spencer thank you very much.

Even more amusing is that my last European training trip for this organisation is still going ahead next week as my manager isn't yet confident enough to do it solo. I'm not so much of a twat that I'll do anything unsuitable whilst training but next Thursday evening I'm going to be in Berlin, on expenses with two of my best buddies. I'm going to get wrecked and not justify why numerous payments to unsuitable establishments turn up on my company card.

On a different note, has anybody "faked" their CV to supress rather than add qualifications? I've removed all trace of my IB German qualification as I've grown weary of often being the only person in an office with any understanding of it and forever being pestered with translation snippets.

Length?- here 'til July 31st baby.

Yup
I no longer tell people I can do electrical safety testing (PAT) as I'd rather grate my arse rather than spending another summer doing 1800 items for a department I was working for.

Jesus that was dull.

I hid my degree
after 5 months of redundancy as I was getting rejection letters to say that I was too over qualified. Not quite sure how with a film degree, but there you go.

Yup
I regularly leave exotic dancer off my resume, whilst owning up to middle management. Seems somehow wrong to me, but there you go.
