The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 07, 2023

Rancid got up on the wrong foot this morning. And it’s not news.

Hide in his bank vault.

He’s giving you a head start Brutus. I’d take advantage of it if I were you. Btw I am assuming last week’s “promotion” idea teaser is forgotten.

Can the boss really be THAT BUSY if he can take the time out to count to one hundred? Shouldn’t he cut it short and only count to ten?

And , he’s not going to look for him.

Shouldn’t that be “I can’t be bothered with you” or is it an American language thing?

Well done, Brutus, very matured of you.

That’s a nice perk. Playing game on the company’s dime.

I wonder if Veeblefester is reading an IRS letter telling him that there’s going to be an audit?

Wow, our Brutus is so secure in his job that he can correct his boss on employee relations? It seems strange for Brutus to be taking such a high road over his Chief. He’s usually much more subservient.

I wonder what would happen if he were caught. :J

… and don’t come out until I’ve found you.

Brutus just handed Veeblefester the report he wanted ‘first thing in the morning’. Now that he has it, Veebes doesn’t have time to socialize, or even to say. “Thank you.”

Way to stand up for yourself Brutus. Now that you were told to scram and go hide, put your own interpretation on that and take the rest of the day off.

And head on out the door to diner for a long lunch break. Skip the special.

Sarcasm isn’t his sweet side. In fact his whole demeanor is rotten!

One day Thornapple will leave that place, in either a straight jacket or handcuffs.

“Count to a million and you won’t see me until tomorrow” crossed my mind as a retort, but the boss is not worth the retort. Time to go and just enjoy the day……

The boss is the south end of a north bound horse.

The boss is a waste of skin!

“OK boss, I won’t tell you the break room is on fire since you’re so busy.”

Now be a good employee and follow orders, Brutus, and hide – at home.

Veeblefester just lost Brutus’ vote for employer of the year, and kudos to Brutus for finally standing up to him.

Nice try, Brutus. Wrong day for it.

Make sure you hide in a really good place because they say good employees are hard to find.

Brutus thinks, “Where can I hide, I do it all the time but he finds me”…
