    Nancy could bartend at the KK/Fuze. That would be a job where she could keep an eye on their investment.

    Now I am confused. 14 years ago was when Sud Z Car closed for good. I thought Nancy’s last job was before Brad was born. Wouldn’t that be more than 14 years ago? Or am I just getting confused again about the way time passes in the Luannverse?

    Would only suggest that with her looks and class and maturity, Nancy should be in a people oriented position that showcases her unique qualities. Not a dump like that weenie place where Ann Eiffel slung hash, or whatever.

    Job skills have been going obsolete for a long time. I remember back in the ‘80s someone was complaining about how all her typesetting experience (from the days of actual metal type) was no longer valued by anyone. And don’t drink the kool-aid about “transferrable skills”; the people who actually read resumes have no idea what that means".

    Now me, I can read and write cursive, do computations using a slide rule, and keep score manually for bowling. Anybody hiring?

    Fingers crossed that we get to follow Nancy to a new career. It’s nice to get away from the “high school drama” and see some realistic stories of characters dealing with relatable issues. Who knows: maybe Nancy will get her own supporting cast like Brad did (especially since he and Toni have been pushed mostly to the background over the past couple years.)

    Frank is mulling over the idea of opening a car wash or he can’t believe the lapse of time since Nancy quit her job ( feeling ancient!)Hopefully, tomorrow might reveal the direction of story arc. It would be great if the focus is Nancy’s new job.

    You wonder how far in advance this was written/drawn. It was a couple weeks after the start before other strips caught up with covid-19 happening. If it is taking place in the Luann universe this is lousy time to look for a job with so many businesses laying people off.

    Who still disagrees with me that Frank is an awful, money-grubbing, negative person? If Luann has a lot of insecurities, I blame it on his bad, non-present parenting. I picture him as one of those “know it all” type of guys in company setting. I say divorce him and let him live with Milhouse’s dad at Casa Nova! (Simpson’s reference)

    Wow! Nice left-handed complement Frank! In the real world there would be consequences. Nancy will just blow it off though, probably.

    It would seem GnK have been relying on Frank’s reputation from the past as being a benign, loving husband and father. He seems a bit smaller than that in the current “money” episode. Just a bit insensitive? Maybe???

    Look for companies offering “returnships”. Internships aimed at helping people returning to the workforce after a long absence. Usually aimed at women like Nancy returning to work after taking time to raise family.

    Hopefully she will use her skills in developing and managing the Fuse to leverage herself and make it look like she’s working now; putting ‘homemaker’ on her resume would not be a good move.

    There’s a lot more competition now. Why doesn’t she work at The Fuse. That’s at least one job they wouldn’t need too pay, plus she would be able to supervise.

    Since she’s talking about when Brad was born, why does Frank reference when the place closed, which is a lot more recent? That makes no sense.

    Speaking of bartending – I have never cared for hard alcohol, so I only know how to make one mixed drink. And, that one, I invented myself. Years ago, my sister and her husband came over to my parent’s house when we were all there having dinner. After dinner, my brother – in – law asked me to make him a drink. I told him that I would try to put something together for him. I looked in my old man’s booze cabinet and found a bottle of rum. Mom’s freezer had frozen concentrated lemonade and limeade. Sooo, I got out a 32 oz. tumbler, put in 8 to 10 ice cubes, half the small container of frozen concentrated limeade, and 22 ounces of rum. Mixed it all up, and he came to the counter to get it. When he finished it, he asked for another – he said it was really good. He asked what it was called, and being the nut I am, I thought up something, and told him that it was called a “Lime Knockout”.

    My old man didn’t have any more rum, so I told him he was out of luck. Good thing he did not have another, my sister had to drive him home as he was “out”.
