On my last day the boss presented me with the clock and told me I'd been staring at it so much, he thought it was a perfect gift.

Ooh, that is rude! When I first read your headline I thought - hey, getting a present at all is nice!
Does your boss just have a goofy sense of humor? And old boss of mine gave me a copy of "Office Space" when I left. I guess in other circumstances, one could have been offended, but in my office this had been a gift to the VP for boss's day several years back as a gag.
In any case, why worry about revenge now? You are gone and don't have to work for him anymore, so why waste another second thinking about him. Regift the clock to your new office secret santa or donate it somewhere and move on.

LMFAO!
revenge? why? bosses are very perceptive.
there's a reason for his gift... do read up on ettiquete with bosses online, key it up in google.com bosses are hard and well that's the way it goes.
always leave with a good impression with the boss. (and the employees too) but the boss if they let you go cynically well it's gone, let it pass.. if they cry then you've done real good. that's the revenge.. but you didn't leave on good terms obviously.
just let it go. move along, don't try to reconnect, bad idea especially if you're going to look for work elsewhere part time or full time. and especially if you leave with any form of pay coming to you.
:D
let it go. it's a good gift, it reminds you of the situation. never forget that, keep it on the mind as you go on to the next boss (from hell) or (best boss ever)

Roxie, With that attitude if I were you boss I would be throwing a party because you are gone. A gift is just that going away presents are not a given they are an option.
I am very happy that you were never my employee and even more happy that I am not the new boss that hired you.. he obviously has made a big mistake about your character.

Get over it and move on. A clock is actually the most common gift given by corporations upon retirement/resignation. No clue why but the best revenge would be for you to just leave and get on with your life.

How Rotten!. Did they not give you anything else????. I love the idea of presenting him back with a pair of breasts, and tell him he has spent so much time staring at them over the past few years you thought they would make the perfect present. WAIT until you have had a reference from the company first! (Also, make the letter v.jokey, so you can say it is all meant in "good jest").
Good Luck

Give him a present for being a "great boss". Make it involve something he does often, or his pet peeve. For instance, if he dislikes to much noise, buy him earpluggs and say "You don't like it when people are social, so I think that it was the perfect gift.,"
Make it sting some. I mean, your not going to have to be around him for much longer!

You should be delighted - hang it up in your home in the kitchen or hallway and be re-assured by the fact that everytime you look at it, it will remind you how good it is not to be working there anymore and that now nobody that still works there can even look to the clock for some sign of hope.

Obviously, you don't want to p*ss him off when you still may need a reference, but the truth is, depending on what type of work you are looking for, that may be some time. I just recently applied for a gig at TSA, and they went back TEN years ...
(But I do think the fake boobs is FUNNY!)

possibly she's stressful because she doesn't truly have any associates. possibly she tries to be act "universal" because she has no theory the thanks to truly act in any respect. try to be fantastic to her, yet, if she starts to annoy you, say something like, "Kelsie is my pal. do not talk about her in the front of me, ok?" or, "we are in the midst of a verbal replace. might want to you options coming back in a minute, and we may be able to communicate then?" For some reason, this lady truly looks connected to you. do not manage her like a bag of airborne dirt and dust.
