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.

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!

"Brilliant Pizza" is an interesting word combo.

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

Mr. Snrub, Friday, 18 September 2020 20:03 (three years ago) link

it's all CDRs and mp3 folders these days.

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

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... »

one day the axe just fell

left a good job in the city

rip van wanko, Friday, 18 September 2020 21:48 (three years ago) link

"the axe just fell" isn't quitting!

Scam Likely (morrisp), Friday, 18 September 2020 21:57 (three years ago) link

I think it means “the last straw” etc

calstars, Saturday, 19 September 2020 00:08 (three years ago) link

To get the axe? It means you’re fired

Scam Likely (morrisp), Saturday, 19 September 2020 00:27 (three years ago) link

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

rip van wanko, Saturday, 19 September 2020 00:35 (three years ago) link

Matt DC did bring it up on the second ever ILX thread (which people claim was the first) a few days after the anniverary.

'Missing the 20 year anniversary' and 'Posting about it on the wrong thread' are both extremely on brand for ILX.
