Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 08, 2010

If I was working there, I’d have a “stroke”.

Dang pouncingtiger y’all done beat me to the draw on that un.

to work oar not to work

Where is the drummer to set the rhythm for the drudges? We can’t have oars getting tangled!

Where’s the big sweaty guy with the whip?

It must be oarful to work there.

Parethed…that was my first thought.

Guess the CEO’s ego needs a lot of stroking.

Those better be ergonomic oars

The company’s HMO recently changed their coverage to no longer include “splinter related injuries”

Oh, the punsters are working overtime today!

At least they’re prepared in case the company starts to go under.

I think I’d jump ship.

I thought this spot was for commentary, not advertising.

Flagged ‘em! Wait a minute. I’m the guy who trashes people who congratulate themselves for flagging spammers. Head, exploding.

Reminds me of The Crimson Permanent Assurance…

Different strokes for different people.

Obviously, the CEO doesn’t have all his oars in the water…

flagged it Pickles has it too.

Not in your job description? What’s that. unemployed?

We just need more slaves powering that business.

It IS in their job description: “… and other duties as assigned.”

Cubicle workers and slaves. Aren’t they synonymous?

Spammerflaggen!

Maybe the CEO will run into the paddles?

you’ll think vital function until the captain want to go water skiing

Gee, just think of it as a renewable energy source endorsed by big business.

Vogue la galere – pardon my French – “Keep on rowing the galley.”

“Hey, when they hired me, they said I would come to work and they’d pay me to pick up my own oar. This wasn’t what I thought they meant.”

if it’s the CEO’s FANTASY, are they paid in MONOPOLY MONEY?

The Good News: You get the morning off. The Bad News: The Boss wants to go water-skiing in the afternoon.

I love that many poorly run companies (such as one where I worked for a while) have failed because they had totally inept owners. Mine lied to employees as well as clients and was every bit as inept as the “pointy haired boss” in Dilbert. I left shortly after his “partner” and the company failed soon after.
