The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for July 21, 2020

Creep…

I can match what you are willing to spend on this party.

With what you’re paying me. I probably could foot a dozen donuts.

Boss, I’ll buy the balloons if you’ll supply the helium.

Well, the boss is definitely a bully.

Recognition is recognition, I’d take it. Here’s all he has to do:

* Use company resources to make a self-congratulatory banner and send out virtual invitations,

* Request use of the conference room,

* and finally, see if Veeblefester would split the cost of catering by Subway.

To me it would be worth a $40.00 investment. Given the cost of the venue and computer equipment, the boss has already covered <90% of the office party.

Poor Thornapple. He falls for the boss’s tricks every time. Many times in order for a boss to respect you, you have to tell them off and put them in their place!

Veeblefester’s only sources of enjoyment are hoarding money and denigrating Thorny.

Well,I guess I could give up coffee for today and get $4.50 maybe.

Obviously not much. Especially since in all those years of loyal service, he hasn’t gotten a raise.

And Thornapple answers – your money bags sitting by your desk will do nicely Chief!
