Hope you like the new job. Do you get to dress casual?

Not as casual as the interview I can wear jeans on the weekends but weekdays I have to dress professional
 
Congratulations - I hope you enjoy it...and yes, do give a "proper" notice. It will be good for you in the future.

By the way, can I be nosy and ask where you were working and what you will be doing now? (You don't have to answer...)

I will be working at Direct Tv just making pre calls which are calls to the customer to tell them that they are # whatever on a list of # whatever when they are having a techinician out to their house. I think it sounds pretty easy. They said it is just a trial and error thing they have never done it before, but if it doesnt work out I would probably dispatch to the technicians. (If that makes sense)
 
Congrats!
:D
 
Congrats on the new job. So will you get discounts on service and a DVR? :p
 
Congratulations Cori! Way to go! :) :) :)

Thank you all so much. I gave my notice today, and my boss was SOO nice about it. I couldnt believe it. She told me I didnt have to stay the full 2 weeks she said she would tell me like she tells her own children ,"once you are gone, it doesnt matter what you did here you will have a fresh start" so she said my last day could be friday. I thought that was so nice. It makes it kinda hard to quit when your boss is really nice. But she wished me luck and said to come visit.
 
I was just trying to think of any of my old bosses that said "come visit" (there aren't many) and how many of those places I can't go visit because they're out of business - reinforces my decision to leave, I suppose.
