    Well, I gave my two week notice almost two weeks ago. Thursday is my last day in this beige box. I have no motivation to do the little bit of work in front of me so the day is creeping by!!!

    Last days are always the worst. I don't think they expect you to do much. alot of times when you give 2 weeks they let you go and pay you for it. That has happened to me twice - it's nice.

      They never expected much, nor rewarded for over achieveing.

      I wish they would just let me leave!

          I am starting my own business. AutoLust; Detailing. I pretty much should just stop coming in.

          My last day is Thursday, I did that so I get paid for being off Monday.

              Similar to the all too common cubical. I hope you never experience one.

                I'm sort of in one - but i have my own office if that makes any sense. It's not the worst thing ever.

                        Yeah, that's so you can't spend the next 2 weeks thinking of a way to sabatogue the company before your departure.

                        When they layed off a bunch of people at the company I used to work for they gave them a 30 day notice and within a week one guy launched a bunch of DOS attacks on the network. After having the guy arrested they went ahead and cut everyone else a check for 3 weeks worth of pay let them go early.
