Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for January 18, 2020

He feels that his account ledgers need to be ‘cleansed’.

Glenn, you look very composed on your last day of work. I think you caught Mgr. Tillie off guard.

Well, the Boss did say, “You’re fired!”

How many thousands of people have wanted to do this? Maybe many millions over the ages. And how many managers have wanted to take their subordinates abysmal output and do the same?

A great way to destroy the evidence.

My mother always said “Never burn your bridges behind you.”

Inspirational speakers like to say that when one door closes, another one opens.

Nobody (nobody reasonable… ) says “Arson is a great way to say goodbye.”

Glenn is closing a door AND burning a bridge… both at the same time… with a bit of arson.

He can’t go back….

but the door that’s opening is the one to the state penitentiary.

What we don’t see because of the smoke screen is that Mgr. Tiliie’s still in his jammies, having his morning coffee at work.

A dramatic exit not to be followed

Ah, retirement!

They should never have stolen his red stapler…

What.. is in Glenns right hand.. If.. he was well endowed it could be…. nah, why would he want to put the fire out.

When people leave the safety of Ballard Street, they should learn that “normal behavior” in the rest of the world isn’t the same. Hope you enjoy your straightjacket, Glenn.
