I'm not a suit.
An idea challenge

I tried, I really did. The simple fact is corporate America Frost-ing blows, and I cannot participate any more. I have no idea what I can or will do but office work sucks the life out of me. I work an eight hour day. No big deal. Of that eight hours, I spend at LEAST three in various meetings. We have our morning meeting to discuss what's new on our project (there's never anything new). We have our afternoon meeting to update the whole department on any changes (none of them pertain to anyone in the meeting) and we have our meeting right before we leave to discuss how our day went and how little progress we made because we were stuck in goddamn meetings all day. I'm quitting. I don't care if I have a job lined up or not. I don't care that I'll end up homeless or hooking up with Sarah for free room and board. I've fantasized about throttling my boss in front of everyone but I'll settle for shouting some witty epithet. What should I say to my boss before I run out the door screaming?

I prefer retail to office jobs. I absolutely HATED working in an office. Retail does suck though--it's just better than office work. Seriously, think twice about quitting without a back-up. I have been unemployed several times int he past and nothing sucks worse.

I agree with Mils on prefering retail to corporate. I worked over 10 years in the corporate world and would trade every day of that for the fun and great relationships I have in retail. It's totally worth the tradeoff of not being able to sit on my ass all day. Also, I agree with Mils on thinking twice about a backup. I have quit jobs before thinking, "Oh, I'll have plently of money/time to find a new job!" and been unemployed for months on end.

I had that conversation with my partner in misery at the office. We kept going back and forth from "it's nice to have a paycheck and we're basically not doing anything because we gave up long ago" to "if I quit I'll HAVE to get a new job." Of course that logic really sucks when it's put into practice.

I decided to go the sane route and find another option. Of course I just got out of my third meeting of the day. The highlight? "Syncope, before we start can you stand over here so I know you can hear me?" "I can hear you. We're in your office. It's like a 12 x 12 room." "I'm really not going to be able to start until you're over here with us and I know you can hear me."

Okay, this is a complex one, but I think it would be worth it. First off, you need 2 Asian midgets, a relatively small monkey, a half cooked baby, and a blender (I recommend kitchenaid). Step 1: Make the sexier Asain place the baby, the monkey, and the skanky Asain in the blender on the liquidate setting until it is thouroughly mixed. Step 2: Tell your boss to Frost himself. Step 3: Reward yourself with your baby-monkey-Asain smoothy. Step 4: Profit!

I'd get a job sucking Satan's black pee-pee of death before I worked retail. or you could just get a job in retail and sell your soul to satan... the after taste is a little better that way. then, after said soul has been taken, you can take your soul-less shell and work as a telemarketer. since your position in hell has already been secured, you don't have to feel bad about getting paid the big bucks to piss people off incessantly.
