What do I say when I resign?

Question

I work in an over staffed office.  There is literally nothing for me to do-I have to come up with ways to make myself look busy.  Maybe it's a dream job for some, but I decided I'd better look for another position before I get the axe!

My question is, should I tell my employer that this is the reason I'm leaving?  I was thinking I would just say I need more flexibility in my working hours, since I am going back to college (which is 100% true); I'm afraid if I say I'm underutilized it will make my last 2 weeks really uncomfortable for everyone.  Basically, I'd be telling my supervisor she's a lousy office manager, right?

Any advice?

Just tell your supervisor that you will be going back to school full time and that the position you have wouldn't fit into your class schedule. Tell him/her when will you start school and that you will need a position that will work around your class schedule and that position you have currently isn't it.

Tell her. Maybe next time sheÂ´ll do a better job as manager. I also had a lousy job, where I didnÂ´t do anything. At first I thought it was great. But as time passes, your mind begins to get numb. I actually watched entire TV series in my old job. Fortunately, it only lasted 7 months because a got a better one, where I actually work! If you do nothing, you become a less interesting person, and you get dumb. Been there, done that.
