And just quit on them? I hate my job and never want to go back. I dont have a new one yet, but when I do it is so tempting to just not go back. I have always been advised to write a resignation letter saying how great the experience was and blah, blah. Then work commit to work out a notice.

I walked out of a job in November - unfortunately it took me until March to be offered another job. I did find it difficult when any new jobs I was applying for wanted references, fortunately I got a job where my personality and qualifications got me through (plus two very good references, one from a former tutor and one from a friend). The firm I had worked for, said that unless I had been there for years it was their policy not to give references. Personally, I think it was sour grapes - I'd been a good employee.
Good Luck whatever your decision is ;-)

I've always given 2 weeks notice - even in jobs I HATE, with people that deserved far less than my politeness, but it could possibly hurt your career.
What does it say to a new employer, if you quit without notice?
It shows that you could be unreliable with them. I hope you find a new job soon though.
It's always easier to find a new job while you are in a job.

Give the notice, they probably don't want you after you quit but then you have a better reference. It is only two weeks, call in sick a couple of times and it will go fast.

If you don't want to use them as references than you could do that. Although, it is bad practice when applying to a new job NOT to be able to list your most recent employer as a reference.

if you have no other job lined up, give the two weeks notice - lots of companies will tell you to leave sooner anyway, so you may get your wish without burning a bridge - you need good references

We hesitate to hire employees who left without providing proper notice to a previous employer. It might hurt your chances -- but you can always explain to a potential employer the valid reasons you walked without notice.
