Default Re: Giving my two weeks

Just invent a customer pick up for yourself about half an hour away (don't forget to book in a "reservation"). . . then come back to the branch an hour and a half or two hours later and say that the customer took forever to get ready and then once he/she was about to leave home, the phone rang and his/her plans changed, so he/she no longer needed to rent. When you return to the branch, feign irritation, but don't overplay your hand. This way, you'll get that much needed mental health "lunch" but don't make it a regular thing. Of course, there are variations on this theme: book in a dealership or autobody shop deal half an hour early and then say the customer was late but the service manager/shop boss was impressed with your willingness to stick around, etc., etc. Half an hour here, an hour there - you'll save yourself a bit better this way and it's nice to stick it to the fuckers above you who think working 55-60 hours per week is healthy (for them, naturally).
