Today, is the start of the third month that I prayed I would be fired, just so I didn't have to quit because I hate awkward conversations. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that the new management position I'm supposed to start in two days was delayed for a month and a half. I already quit my current job and called my boss gay. FML
Today, I found out that I have three weeks to get better at my shitty job before we start discussing my "future" with the company. FML
Today, I won employee of the month. I was then fired for being late. FML
Today, I called in sick to work for a second day. After months of my boss trying to get me sacked by spreading vicious rumors about me, taunting me into retaliating, and generally making my life a living hell, he finally got his chance. He sent me a text saying, "yeh dont bother son ure fuckin fired." FML
Today, my boss fired me because he wants to start dating my mother and apparently doesn't want it to be "awkward." FML
Today, I got fired from a job I had already resigned from after agreeing to stay on and help them out for an extra month, despite having no contract. They fired me because a colleague refused to work with me anymore because I wouldn't date him. FML
Today, I was fired on my second day of work after a year and a half of unemployment. Apparently, my "tendency to solve problems instead of just accepting them made the other workers uneasy". FML
Today, I finally built up the courage to quit my job. I waited an hour to speak to the boss; I finally sat down with her, and she told me I had to be let go because I'm not "reliable enough." The only time I missed work was when I had the stomach flu. I was fired before I could even quit. FML
Today, my social awkwardness got to an all-time high when I hoped that I wouldn't get the job that I applied for, because I'd be working with the public. FML
Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Resigning will look much better on s resume when you look for a new job

One if my coworkers had her husband call in an quit for her. You could call in off-hours and quit on voicemail. No reason to be miserable. Hope you get it worked out! :)

Social awkwardness is the worst. A small bright side to your painful situation is think of the additional money you've made in the three months, money you would not have seen, had you quit.

No conversation necessary, awkward or otherwise. All you have to say is "Excuse me. Hey. I'm giving you my two weeks' notice, now. Thanks." Seriously, even quitting a job doesn't HAVE to be awkward. Then again, I don't seem to be socially phobic, so maybe I don't fully understand what exactly your going through. Either way, if you don't want your job anymore, you have to get out.

If you really want to leave without an awkward conversation and obviously you don't care about future employers opinion, just stop showing up, yet will get the idea eventually.

Be a shittier employee. That will help.

Don't wait until you get fired. Line up a new job and then quit. I wish I'd done that when things got bad instead of hoping things got better and then getting fired. I got lucky and found a job right away, but it could have been much worse.
