The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 25, 2023

Brutus’ desk doesn’t have sacks of money. I wonder why.

LOL Tea cozies?! I don’t remember that.

Brutus is hoping to make a sale to the “Your number cannot be completed as dialed, please check your number and dial again” guy.

A long time ago I worked in a small factory, I would walk around carrying some papers looking important. Nobody ever questioned it. I used to have fun

There’s no point in waiting until the last minute, chief.

Anything to avoid talking to the Chief.

He never seems to accomplish anything but he always looks busy.

Maybe the caller was shocked into silence by getting an actual person on the phone.

Now that I know what the company business model is, I’m sure Veeblefester makes his money some other way

At least Brutus is trying to do his job. Perhaps not successfully in some cases, but he’s trying.

perhaps he’s hearing a ring in his ears and he can’t tell the difference. happens in my family a lot… although we have a screen that tells us who called with what number. :J

I still use a teapot. Like to let my tea steep for a while.

A real go getter.

He’s just trying to cozy up…

(≖_ʖ ≖)

Brutus anticipates………..

My friend hates coffee. It’s not his cup of tea.

Answering the bell that hasn’t rung.

I didn’t know Veeblefester made tea cozies.

My late wife made Tea Cozies way back. More for decoration than actual use. Still got two old teapots in antiques Cupboard from old days.

An example for us all who want to get ahead in business, regardless…..

Just trying to impress you with his work ethic.

A friend of mine had a phone with a broken ringer, so she would just randomly pick up the phone to see if anyone was calling. I don’t know how long she did that. Knowing her, she probably just accidentally turned the sound off.

And Brutus says, “da m n this tinnitus, Veeblefester must think I’m nuts”…

Brutus is practicing. Role playing is good training for salespeople!

Veeblefester is a gazillionaire selling tea cozies? I was in the wrong business!

Brutus is just trying to impress the boss. Veeblefester isn’t fooled though.

Spats?
