Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for August 11, 2020

Why does Peg even bother complain if Peter’s just going to give advice?

Tony asked nothing new yet

That, I can do, too…

So I ask Do you listen?

Yes; I remember all those old err vintage questions.

Did you say something?

I try to listen but sometimes my mind wanders.

OOO, look at that hummingbird. It’s so fascinating how they can hover. Why just the other day …

Huh? Who me?

No, give extreme solutions, so that what the boss did would not seem that bad by comparison.

Here’s what you do, go puncture all her tires, then your keys, her car, well, that’s what I’d do.

Well, I guess I’ll get over it, she did say something about how it was a good idea, mind if I use it, etc…

Ok this is getting old. You’ve done this strip 17 different ways over the years. Still the same message. We get it. Men need to listen. Got it!

Not bad advise coming from an idiot.

There is a solution. . . When there are others around, thank your boss. When s/he asks “what for” , say “for valuing my suggestion”.

It’s not about the nail. https://youtu.be/-4EDhdAHrOg

Stink bombs in her office drawers?

It’s always that time.

Duh…

My boss got his name on a patent that I did all the development work on.

This HAS to be the song of the day, here:

Good work Pete, you managed to divert her rage from her boss to you.

I’ve never had a problem with not being recognized for my ideas. I’ve always considered it teamwork, and I’ve made a the team work. But my former supervisor was very good at recognizing contributors input.

with her it is always hard to know how to react to anything she says. since i have been reading this i don’t think he hass giiven the correct reaction one time.
