As of July 31st, I am no longer working at this company.
I had went to the director "COC" that had yelled at me and we talked for about 10 minutes "like gentlemen". And I told him, I would like to continue to the end of my contract, but after which, and will be leaving because "I feel I can not give the company the professinalism that it seeks from individuals."
Great way to play with their words, uh? :p
Don't worry, I'm going to have some final words on my last day.

Thats cool man! A few years ago, i worked in a video shop and it was the best job i ever had. I got given the responsibility of looking after the place after a few weeks working there, because the manager suddenly left! It was great, i had the keys and i had open and close the place everyday and all i did was sit around watching DVD's all day. Then on some occasions i'd get my mates to come round, and i'd put a sign on the window saying "Back In 30 Minutes", and we would get stoned in the back! Then i had a friend with a DVD writer to come in and copy pretty much everything! It was a right old laugh.
I was there for about 8 months, and i eventually got sacked by the area manager, because the place was losing customers. And i used to let people off when they had to pay fines because their films were not back on time!
Ahh those were the days!

I hate giving long notice of intent to quit. It seems to take a lifetime to go but at least you have conducted yourself in a professsional manner.
Good for you. Do you feel free?

You've done good my friend. Life will now open up many doors for you. Quitting jobs (and I've quit a few) is one of the most liberating, empowering and exciting things
The movie 'Clerks 2' actually has a lot to say on the subject of working in 'fun' jobs instead of trying to carve out a stressful, professional career in the midst of corporate-minded bloodsuckers.

Great. Better yet, quit now. Don't feed movements that are fragmented. They are run by apes, and you know it! :D
Ask your boss who's asses he or she is licking. As a reply you will probably get the answer; "Well, we have to satisfy our shareholders' demand for profit and expansion". Then tell your boss-who-has-a-boss-who-has-a-boss-etc: "Well, FUCK the shareholders. How about that?" lol. :-)

Thanks guys. Shit, I love you all.
I'm stopping on the 31st because that when my contract is done. They wanted to just extend it, but I said I don't want it extended, you know.
But, playing it smart, this gives me time to find that fun job I want.
Like working at a games store. :D
I mean, shit. I want to work at a games store soooooooo fuckin' badly.
The only games store I would never work at, is this one in Rotterdam called "FutureZone". I heard people miss like 4 months worth of pay and such, you know.
In anycase. That or even a music store. :D

I always think of one the line from one the the nirvana songs off of In Utero,
"You cant fire me because i quit"
I love that lyric.
I too am about to embark on a new "Career" and handed my notic in a few weeks back.

Good luck! Just think, the world's your oyster right now. You can take your pick of careers! :)
We spend a quarter of our lives or longer at work so it has to be something you find worthwhile, inspiring and fullfilling. The idea of work being just a chore to survive is terrible. I know because it used to be like that for me.
In this age of materialism and conformism we're conditioned to chase every promotion to get as much status as possible, to get as much money as possible. People at some workplaces will bitch and sneer and stab eachother in the back for every extra little crumb that tossed down from the boss' table! What a futile and pathetic effort. It's sad because I've known people who've quit jobs they love for jobs they can't stand because the job they can't stand gives them more pay, power, status, company car etc. They end up "better" according to the values of the Conformist Regime, but condemn themselves to hours of misery and tedium every day.
