make sure it's in writing.
my friend just quit a large tire chain.
he told his manager i quitting in 2 weeks.
a week and 1/2 later they say "we need it in writing if you want you benefits"
so if he wanted to get paid for unused vacation he had to wait 2 more weeks.

As others have said.
- do it in writing
- make it short and to the point
- you do not have to tell them why you're leaving or where you're going
- be unfailingly polite. Do not burn bridges!
If the boss wants an 'exit interview' type thing, be candid but polite about your reasons for leaving. Again, don't burn your bridges. Future prospective employers may call this boss for references.

There was this guy that worked here as an intern. He came in one day and said "Today is my last day." They couldnt do anything because he was paid by the hour. I want to do that.
at my last job i went into the office of the VP of HR late thursday afternoon & told him
i was quitting friday, then i did the same with my supervisor, then started a new job
on monday. i also sent a letter to the VP explaining my reasons.

Put it in writing and leave on a positive note.
Looks good. If you want to brown nose a little to keep in good faith put something like "If you'd like me to devote my time to training others on my responsiblities I can do that as well"
Remember, you want to keep a good relationship/contact with your previous employers. You never know when they might move somewhere else and want you to come aboard.
take two weeks of vacation and on the day u leave tell your boss that your turning your two weeks in.
Sure, just make sure you throw in phrases like "It's not you, it's me" and "We can still be friends".

That's a good way to do it...
I always got along with all the supervisors at my previous job... (and the supervisor's supervisors) I hung around them moreso than with the rest of the other employees.
My 2 weeks notice: pasted together from letters cut out of magazines in the form of a ransom note. I wish I had taken a picture of it... it was classic. (They had already known I was going to leave due to returning to full time education)
