13 soon! Will ILX be holding a Bar Mitzvah party?

How about an exit interview?

Today, you are a man.

Buzzcocks' Breakdown, "Better give up the job before it gives up me"

I associate the Streets' "Lock the Locks" (title?) with leaving a job.

Dirty Rotten Imbeciles - Money Stinks

"I'm staying home today...and I'm not going back to work!"

Is 'The Short-cut Way to Saturday' by Yeah Yeah Noh about quitting your job? Or fantasies of quitting your job?

on the wall the bricks are hours, I just crossed off another day
tomorrow, we say, we'll stop counting, then tomorrow we say the same again

Unbelievable that "Maggie's Farm" hasn't been mentioned.

Oops seems it was mentioned 14 years ago. Still the best song about quitting your job.

Ugh, 15 was the worst of the angsty teenage years for me. Here's to ILX spending the next year hanging out in the basement, moping around and listening to Psychocandy.

I was 20 years old when I first posted in this thread. Mind blown.

I was 17 ;_;

Butthole Surfers OTM

Beck's finest hour ("Mexico") is a job-quitting rob-the-till-when-you-go song.

"Candy," one of my favorite songs by The Men, which starts with the line "I just quit my job now I can stay out all night long"

I had this song stuck in my head today, now I know why!

So was this the first thread on ILM?

Pretty sure I posted this upthread but it's not showing up.

The Statics - "I Quit"

Aww ned that’s pretty cool

I'd like to say I was OTM in this thread

"Brilliant Pizza" is an interesting word combo.

I stand by it

As you should. It's amazing!

Damn, ILX turned 20 last month and I didn’t even notice.

it's all CDRs and mp3 folders these days.

it's amazing that 20 years later this is still as relevant

Damn, ILX turned 20 last month and I didn’t even notice.

Suede’s « By The Sea » :
« So we sold the car and quit the job
and shook some hands and wiped the make-up right off,
And we said our good-byes to the bank
left Seven Sisters for a room in a seaside shack,
And when I start my new life I won't touch the ground... »

the similarities between this photo and the one with mum-in-green are REALLY freaking me out

one day the axe just fell

left a good job in the city

"the axe just fell" isn't quitting!

I think it means “the last straw” etc

To get the axe? It means you’re fired

He "didn't like it all that much" so he was probably giving every reason to be fired, but still different from quitting
