So It's My Last Afternoon In My Job

lowenduser · #1 01-09-2008, 07:00 AM

So, I got a new job - starting in two weeks, but, having a a bit of holidays to take, it's my last day in my current job today after eight years in the one job. Just back from my lunch and three hours to go!!

Anyone any suggestions for last day "things to do" that won't get me arrested nor totally ruin any chances of potentially looking for favours in years to come from my soon to be ex company?

Network. Handshakes and saying goodbyes and making sure to leave a good last impression on everyone there becasue you never know when that person may be at a company in a position to help you out.

finish work, shake some hands, go home.

do you want to be known as the guy who goofed off and was a slacker his last few hours because he was leaving?
or the guy who maintained professionalism and a good work ethic until he was done.

Blah!!

Do something crazy enough to be sent home early. Let the road ahead be illuminated by the burning bridges behind you

Give your old boss a twelver with a post it that says "Thanks" on it. It would be the classy thing to do.

leave a little party favor on the desk on your way out?...

stick your lunch in the desk drawer and see how long it will take for them to find the smell?

surf porn all day on your puter and get a nice good virus on it?

lol.

seriously .. shake hands, network ... say you enjoyed the experience ..

That's what I would do.

Then of course, on my way out, drop my pants and start singing "Girls, Girls, Girls"!

Pick up a few small gifts for those you dealt with a lot during your time there. Thank them for their help and assitance over the years. Let that person know you are available as a reference should they decide to also leave down the road. They'll most likely respond to that with the same back to you.

Ask out that cute admin you've had your eye on. If you're married, then forget what I said.

Order pizza or other suitable delivery food to share with your coworkers.

I remember there was a segment on a hidden camera show, that captured a man taking out his "equipment" and stirring the coffee with it before giving it to his coworkers.
