Most Fun Way to Leave a Bad Job?

medscaper asks: "I have an awesome opportunity this morning. Since the market is opening up, I was offered a great new tech job over the weekend, and have been stuck in a miserable one for the past several years. I spend more time stressing out and anxious about keeping my job than getting any quality work done. I'm SO looking forward to walking into my boss's office this morning to let him know that I'll be leaving. I'm tempted to do it with style, especially because I got a (completely unwarranted) PHB-style threatening lecture last week about my work habits. I really don't need the recommendation or a reference, so it doesn't matter much how I leave. Should I politely give the standard 2-weeks? Or should I have a little fun with it and burn some bridges? Anyone have any stories to relate?"

    Install Red Hat on your boss's machine. That will surely make him miserable!

    Welcome to the world of republicans. They all bitch about lazy people who need government hand-outs and then proceed to work for the government for the rest of their lives because they cannot make it in the real work force. I'd bet over 90% of all ass-wipe government employees are republicans, especially on base (militiary bases).

    Hypocrites till the end.

    >> Tech market is very bad, especially for guys like me who have pretty good resumes...

    Complete and utter horseshit.
