I wouldn't say a thing about it to anyone. I'd just come to work and hand in my 2 week notice. Boring life over.

Fun life about to begin!

First, I would pay my school system to get rid of my idiot principal, who is in way over his head and is screwing up our school. Then, I would stop drawing my salary, but continue teaching my classes because I love what I do. I would want the district to use my salary to hire another teacher to help reduce class size and employ one of dozens of teachers I know who are unemployed.

Until you got mugged and possibly killed working nights on a street corner!!!!

You live in Vegas, how boring can life be? Or are you one of the residents that don't dare go near the temptations of the strip?

I'd say nothing, because I would never be back!

Ahh...difficult situation, I would have to stay here until my co-worker, who is excellent, is training for this job, as it is now, if I gave a two week notice, he would not be able to take over...and he deserves this job. So, I would have to stay until he was ready...I would love to just not show up...but that is not correct, in my position...

I'd also hire a publicist to release a statement saying the money won't change me.

heres another option. Come to work, goof off, take days off, lerave early, basically be a realy pain in the arse....then they can fire you, you can collect unemployment insurance and get even more money.....so this is also an idea....and if you have to go on interviesa for the unemployment, you dont have to care about getting hired because you are not going to work anyway.

PS. Let's assume you won $10,000,000 or more For kicks.

I enjoy my job and have a great rapport with my bosses. I would put in my two weeks, work them, then quit.
