At my last job, I was certain they'd tell me to go home for the two weeks (that was their usual practice). But I didn't want my projects to suffer. So I had my closest work friend and his family over for dinner and gave him a quick brain dump of the projects. Over the next few days, we'd find a few spare moments to make sure he knew all the ins and outs.

Now, finally, I could give notice. As it turns out, they "let" me stay pretty much the whole two weeks.
