Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 25, 2024

uh nope … he’s checking for loopholes …

Bernard Figowitz, the most boring man on Ballard St.

I take it he came prepared.

Well, he IS president of The Drill And Bit Club.

Bernard is not only telling him to take the performance review, he’s giving him a place to shove it.

An apt response to the critique: “Mario’s analyses are too superficial, he needs to drill down more”.

Hard to comment on this one.. sorry.

“Holey Cra…ftsman!”

Pretty impressive, Bernard – considering it’s a metal desk and all…

“I meant your final review.”

Good morning Balladeers!

Best performance review I ever had was with the department head at my school. She told me when she’d like to meet with me and casually mentioned she really liked a certain chocolate bar. Guess what I had with me when we met for my review!

I have one of those somewhere

Yes, he does.

He finds these performance reviews boring.

Paul Newman’s cousin, perhaps???

just be happy he’s doin’ it to the desk!

That says it awl.

What was your first clue?

he’s insisting that he really knows the drill…

You said I was a boring person. How’s this for boring?

Good night, Ballard Dears.
