So I just handed in my resignation and the shit should hit the fan tomorrow. This thread will document what happens as it happens. I will be in the office on Wednesday so that's when all the action should occur.
This will end my 7 year working relationship with KFC. It's been a long time coming but the end is near! Stay tuned.

Congrats Joel, it should be a big releif when its all over ... i'll stay tuned to see how it goes :-)
So I should be having a meeting around 10 or 11. My boss is lazy so it may end up being later. I rang him yesterday to confirm that he had received my resignation and the phone call with him was...brief.
I worked out this morning that I have said "Hi, welcome to KFC Drive Thru. This is Joel speaking. May I take you order" about 250 000 times. It's so ingrained in me that I don't even have to think about saying those words. It's like Pavlov's dog, when I hear a beep (like the beep in the Drive Thru headsets) I automatically say that phrase. It's going to take years to drive that out of my psyche.
So stay tuned and I'll keep you posted through out the day.
Well just had my phone call with my boss. He offered me a little more ($40 000), but that is still way short of what I am worth. So I said the resignation still stands. He said that he should move to Canberra to get a job like mine. I held back the laughter. There is no way he would get a job, he is an idiot! His only qualification is a MCSE. Not to diss MCSE....well okay I am.
I have just sent an email out to my company saying goodbye and the responses are flowing in. Hopefully the big boss should weigh in. I have a feeling that my boss hasn't told the big boss I'm leaving so we'll see what happens.
Oh and I estimate I have asked customers "Do you want to go large with that" (or similiar) about 1 000 000 times.
