Uh-Huh. Tell Her WHY, Bern.
The WHOLE Reason.
The TRUTH.
Because unless You come CLEAN, Youâre Gonna Feel Guilty everyday on account of the Fact that YOU called the Nice Lady that GOT You this Job âIncompetentâ.

I can understand how Bernice feelsâŠ.an âinterviewâ does not seem real until youâre actually in the room with the interviewer. Itâs even that much more difficult to handle one when oneâs nerves have been through an emotional wringer as Berniceâs have just been. She needs time to regroup her thoughts âŠeven a brief shower would have been a big help to her.
Ms. Phelps is being very considerate by not asking the obvious question .. ⊠what happened to you?
TheSkulker almost 12 years ago
Wow. That IS impressive. A five star spin and total obfuscation of intent!
Do you work for the government?

OMG, PeopleâŠâŠ.this is a comic strip! You have nothing better to do? Anyway, time to return to Bradâs girlfriend. If we hurry, we can maybe catch her in the tub.

This is the insight into the cycle of human nature. âBack to the futureâ, if you will. Perhaps in the mind of Mizz Phelps Bernice reminds her of herself, in her âsalad daysâ growing up (doing and saying the same things about the mentors/teachers/adults aronund her, thinking they were clueless, and also maybe she had a propensity towards fumbling during awkward moments⊠but over time the light came on and she polished her âraw potentialâ into a âmethod for her madnessâ⊠-ââMaybe her next words would be: âBernice, I see a lot of myself in youââŠ.

Generally speaking, we as people put down counselors when we are young (and some later on) as though they donât do or know anything, and yet, the world is filled with people paid to listen to us open up our closet of âbaggage and bonesâ and clean them out (or maybe just rearrange the closet a little)âŠ..--I guess if guidance and knowledge is a well of water and a banquet of food, we donât care much until weâre reeealy hungry and thirstyâŠ.

âExactly! And I want to counsel others to avoid doing things which will get them ticketed or otherwise harm their futures. I brought this ticket as an example, a prop.â
VikThor almost 12 years ago
OK, I was totally thinking a different type of counselor.
mrsdonaldson almost 12 years ago
Wow. Youâre good.

Bernice should just be honest and tell her the same thing she told Delta.
But only the first part.
sameyers almost 12 years ago
Lol, I love Bernice in the hot seat! Sheâs so good at telling other people their shortcomings!

Why did Bernice have to take a road trip to meet the guidance counselor that works daily at her school??
ACTIVIST1234 almost 12 years ago
Brdshtt, perfect response! Too bad a novice wouldnât be able to come up with it.*How much these two have learned on this 3-hour cruise. Had fun, food, music, a plan. Had troubles & got out of them without the help of a man (store clerk, AAA, or cop). First interviewer (a practice interviewer) is a kindly woman who wants you to succeed.*And when they get back home with all these stories to share, will Luann listen?
twinsoniclab almost 12 years ago
Whatâs wrong with saying, âYou,â which is the truth. No need to go into it further. Or, even, âI watched the way you handle the students at school.â It is possible to tell the truth without including the bad parts!
notbornyesterday almost 12 years ago
All that Bernice needed to say was âwhy you did Ms. Phelpsâ and the job would have been hers. Donât these girls know anything ?
Miles VanDelay almost 12 years ago
Halper. Apparently, Evans got the idea from rob and Laura Petrieâs neighbor, Millie Halper or Helper (it was spelled both ways in the shows credits)
Trails4GMZ almost 12 years ago
You got the job!âŠ..donât listen to the question, you are perfect for the position.

Thus exhibiting poor behavior, and not setting the type of example that a counselor might be expected to provide.
Argy.Bargy2 almost 12 years ago
The sad thing is, Miss Phelps seems truly pleased to see Bernice and seems to like and respect her. Too bad that this is wasted on someone who doesnât return that respect.
JayBluE almost 12 years ago
And so it is!!!! (Yessss!!!!) and thank you to GoComics!
JayBluE almost 12 years ago
Boy, after this story resolves, I really wonder which character will be next in taking the next step of their lifeâŠ.
ACTIVIST1234 almost 12 years ago
Not only is the Refresh button back, but the âLoad 15 moreâ button remains. Which means by button-deficit theory was wrong (or else they got another shipment of buttons in stock).

I wonder if Bernice might come away with a better appreciation for Ms. Phelps? Will be interesting to see how the rest of the story arc goes.

@seyleigh I have two daughter-in-laws who are are counselors. I always thought like you did, I never talked to a counselor or knew anyone who did. Now I know, they deal with kids on drugs, kids with problems at home, kids who are suicidal and also be sure they have the right credits to graduate. They do a lot of other things too. Itâs a very stressful job!
David Huie Green LikeNobody'sEverSeen almost 12 years ago
But a rush to get here would imply poor planning skills. That can be learned but should have already been learned..Still, the best answer is the truth, âI have realized how important the job is for guiding youths to a fulfilling, happy life and want to do my part.â No need to add any poor examples she may have seen.
AmyGrantfan51774 almost 12 years ago
wouldnât Bernice have said why you did Ms. Phelps???
