Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for December 05, 2011

Sounds like my Monday, too.

first monday after cyber week

That’s supposed to be a bad day?!

says the one who called her “honey”.

No meetings until after 10 AM! Gives everyone a chance to get in the groove.

her employment future at this company would be considerably longer if that were a thought balloon instead of a talk balloon

In some ways I agree with you, nighthawks, but as an employee who sometimes has to put up with ridiculous petty “charges” about ridiculously petty procedures, I feel her pain and angst. I HAVE spoken up to my immediate supervisor in almost that tone and told him to tell the ones who make the charges to come down from their ivory towers and do our job for one day during holiday season. (I don’t empathize with her lack of organization, even though “stuff” happens!)

oh, how mant times have we had days like that and wanted to respond like that.

if honesty didn’t have consequences…

OTOH, her brashness and honesty may be just the attributes he has been looking for in his quest to fill the recent opening in customer support (formerly known as the “Complaint Dept”). Watch out for falling glass as she smashes through the ceiling..

yeah, gang way! You do not stand between a gal and her first cup of joe!

Do senior vice presidents really stand around monitoring tardy employees? Don’t they have an office manager for that?

And THAT, kids, is how Mommy finally got time to spend with you!
