If you just dropped in here, the Farty Poop story arc begins HERE. There are 4 episodes prior to this one.
I couldn’t come up with a gag or even anything remotely weird in today’s comic. But we sort of need this one to set up the next one.
Tix has a dilemma. She wondering how the boss is going to take the fact that she did not follow his instructions to the letter. If a boss already respects you, they will perceive: great strategy, used resources efficiently and solved the problem quickly. But if they think negatively of you they will be like: couldn’t do it by yourself, could you? Had to bring in someone else.
Usually you get a little cred for free at the beginning of a new job. After all, they chose YOU. But if the job is such crap to begin with that no sane person would work there, the boss has such low self-esteem that he starts out already thinking negatively of anybody stupid or desparate enough to accept employment there. Tix has had the heebie jeebies about this outfit from the get-go. OTOH, Abe seems pretty content.
It's often all in how you look at things. And sometimes the assessment has already been made ahead of time.
Exactly, Binky. If the negative assessment's already made, you could get a frickin' Nobel prize and they'd still find something negative about it.
Yeah, I guess it's all in the spin. Too bad the boss can dictate what the spin will be.
Bosses are indeed demanding and difficult beings to deal with.
Looks like marilyn is a computer genius.
BTW I kept thinking about your sub-domain suggestion & decided to fiddle around in my C-Panel & see what I could figger out. Easier than I thought & got it all working with ComicPress on the Subdomain. There's a header menu link on my blog to take you to my CP site. I love that I can have blog posts & comics separate & different themes for each. Thanks a lot Colleen for the advice.
Marilyn is no genius but she does repair computers for a living and she's quite competent at it. Marilyn hates to be identified as a geek. She likes to get dressed up in 6 inch spike high heels and revealing outfits and go out and party, not your typical geek activities.
