welp, i just talked with my boss and i won't be able to leave work until mid july.......so pissed off. i wanted to enjoy my last summer....meh
 
I am there with you. I planned to finish work by mid-June and return to CA to be with family & friends. But since I need the money, will be leaving New Orleans mid-July. But then I do get a week off the end of June 🙂 Hang in there.

i'm quitting in mid-july too...i've also been putting in overtime, so hopefully i'll be able to receive one more full paycheck after i start school.
tein - meh indeed. especially since most places are fine with 2 weeks notice. they must like you a lot! 🙂
 
Dude I am so stoked! I am done the last full week in June, The 27th is my final day AND I will get paid until the end of Juy bc thats when I "officially" started my Americorps gig. I actually began work the first week of Julu last year and didnt get paid for like 6 weeks! It's all worth it now though...
 
I'll be leaving in July too. I need the money and the health insurance. A few weeks is all I need anyway, otherwise I get bored and start thinking too much (God forbid that happen).

Die!!! u lucky bastard 😛
 
Im leaving on June 12th - I was gonna do june 13th but hey i might as well not have to go to work that friday!
Then I'm off to the east coast for a little visiting trip:
DC-->NYC-->Boston (one week each) to see all my college friends and live it up a little before I start school on Aug 11! Yay! Oh somewhere in there I have to find an apartment.
 
I was planning on stayin' with my nice little pharmaceutical co. job till the end of June, but....
I got into my Med school's pre-matriculation summer program where I get paid to get a headstart on 1st year classes. And to top it all off, I did the math and I'll actually be making more per hour in the summer program than I would for my fancy pharmaceutical company. 😀 So I'm outta here next week--> May 23!

Too bad the summer program doesn't end till mid July.🙁
 
Friday, May 16th.

Cleaning out my desk as we speak (or type, I guess)

please refer to my response to crazyterp above
 
I have no idea. It depends on where I go. If I go to UIC, my last day will likely be in mid-June. If I get into UofC, which starts somewhere near Oct 1st, I'll be working through most of July possibly into August.
 
:clap: :clap: May 30th!!! :clap: :clap:

And the best part is between now and then, I will only be working 2 more full days, 1 7hr day, 5 2-4 hr days, and I'm taking 2 whole days off. I am soooo glad I worked so many extra hours for interviews and vacations in the past AND that my company lets me squander away my sick days.

Then June 3rd I'm off to Europe for almost 7 weeks!!!!:clap:

Many Gracias,

we are going all over, beginning in England. in the UK we are doing London, Brighton, and Edinburgh; Dublin & Waterford in Ireland. we bought a Go Western Europe book which has been really helpful. you could probably just get one for the UK and one for Ireland. get started on booking. in some places the cheapest beds are already full (we're booking now)

www.eurotrip.com has a good site on hostels with links. we found some good places there

yes! finally someone who is working later than me. now i feel better.
wait...not really. sigh🙁
 
Since I was on Vacation (Some call it study abroad) until April 1, I'm working from May 5-July 18. It gives me something to do between the hours of 9 and 5.

i'll be working later than that, by choice. i'm trying to save up some dough this summer and feel a two week vacation before orientation starts is sufficient. i'll have a pretty lax job at home and will going to the shore regularly on the weekends hopefully 😎
 
i am at my job till June 13th, then I am off to Cali for 2 wks. After that i will just be chilling. I haven't had a summer off since high school so I am looking forward to it. 😀

😀

Word...me too! I will be a the bar by noon tomorrow(5/16/03) considering that my boss will be out of the office and I've finished the last touches on a paper (at least the parts I'm responsible for). Let me tell you...a few cold beers will be necessary to dull the pain in my sore, over-typed fingers.
 
I clean out my desk May 30...my vacation is paid for June, then July I fly to Philly. It sucks to be leaving my apartment & friends...I wish I could transport the building to downtown Philly.
 
My last day will be July 19. I'm also taking a nice little vacation the first ten days of June. I can't freakin wait. I would leave earlier, but I really need the money.
 
Last day June 4th.

Maui June 5th - 15th!!! :clap:

Beach June 16th - orientation 😎

Sounds nice I know, but I've been working hard to be able to do this.
 
July 25th and then it's a mad rush to get the apartment packed, my car sold and the moving truck loaded for chi-town. Then my mom is flying out to help me move in, paint walls, and just generally make the place livable. wahoo!
 
Wow, everyone is quitting so early. My last day is Aug. 8 and school starts on Aug. 20. I really need the money because of a wife and kid on the way. I wish I could quit early and take an extended vacation but that will have to wait until after med school. I hope everyone has fun this summer and enjoys their last moments of freedom!!!!!!!!!
 
I'll probably stop working around July 10th. Then I go on vacation in Wisconsin for a week (same place I'll go to for 4th of July weekend 😀 ), come back to Chambana, pack up my stuff since my lease ends July 31st, and move out to Iowa. I'll probably spend a week or so chillin' in Sterling before really moving to Iowa City. I guess a month off isn't a lot, but I'm only waiting tables. Not like it's a hugely stressful job. 😉
 
Wow, guys you're all so lucky to have some vacation between job and Med School. My last day is August 15 (Friday) and the orientation starts on August 18 (Monday). That leaves me with an entire weekend for a vacation. Am I a geek or what?

Fastidious.

i hear ya! about the money thing, too. i'll be out the 22nd of july (or so). one of my loans cancelled since i stayed for 1 year. i'm gonna miss it.
 
I will be liberated on May 30th. Wahoo! 😎

Then I plan on watching lots of trash TV, taking a couple short roadtrips, packing up my stuff and moving to Winston-Salem, a week at the North Carolina beaches with my family, and then... orientation on July 28th. 😱
 
My last day is TOMORROW! Going out with the GI crew nearby for drinks and laughs afterwards. Can't wait!
 
july 25 - that will give me two weeks to move back across the country, visit my family and look for an apartment. i really wish i had a little more time especially since i'm a full time volunteer so i won't even be making any money. but, the dr i work for gave me a huge guilt trip. 🙄 heaven forbid she think back to the horrors of med school and be appreciative that i've volunteered 40 hrs a week since august.
 
my last day is . . . oh wait, I'll still be working next fall. Darn. Only 8-10 hours/week, though, which I'm hoping will not make my life hell.
 
August 14th 🙁
 
Hrm...I haven't decided yet and I haven't notified my work. I work as an EMT for a private ambulance company and things are so fluid I don't think I need to give >1 month notification. Here's the thing...I work 3 days a week 12 hour shifts like I have been doing the whole year so I feel as though I don't need as much of a vacation as others might. I don't think I am going to be doing any travelling (but I may pull something together still), and most of my family are going to be abroad, either from the middle of July or beginning of August (I start July 28). I now live with my family which is 35 minutes away from my school and I will hopefully be moving to an apartment July 1. So, I have no clue what I'm doing and I'm just confused...
 
I can't make up my mind when my last day should be. I need to take at least two weeks, but I only want to take more if I know I'm not going to be sitting around doing nothing.

The problem is, my employer has this bizarre payroll system. It's not the usual 2 week cycle. We get paid twice monthly, once for the 1st through the 15th, and then for the 15th through the end of the month--however many days that is. So the day that would make the most sense from a payroll standpoint is a Monday, which makes NO sense in the real world.

I guess I'll have to get out my calendar.
 
June 13th and good riddence!

And now, there's just the small matter of having to pay bills through July without a paycheck!!!
 
august 1st is my last day full-time (orientation starts august 4th) and then i go part time, as i'm keeping the job for some weekends/evenings for spare cash. it's a cushy little biotech job, and i just bought a house - need the $$.
 
at worst june 6th, but if things work out with the newbies at work may 30th!
 
Second week of July...why not get paid for the 4th of July holiday? 😉

By that point, I'll be done with all my work to the extent I'll basically be paid for checking my e-mail from home and making sure my replacement is doing the rest of my work satisfactorily.
 
june 13th!! much needed break even though i just got back from costa rica...need to use up all the vacation days, you know? heading to europe...london, bath, paris, spain-mallorca, etc. for 3.5 weeks. does anyone recommend the eurorail pass? anyway, going back home to pack, relax, eat some good home cookin', then off to orientation first week of august...
 
June 1st...so soon, counting down:clap:
 
June 2nd! :clap: :clap: :clap:

I'll be in Southern Cali for most of June with a short trip to Cleveland to look for an apartment, in San Francisco the last week of June, NY the first week of July, then Montana and Idaho for the second and third weeks of July, then Cleveland by the end of July for Aug 4 orientation.

Can't wait for summer, woohoo!
