This wasn't written with any particular workplace in mind, though it does apply to my college's IS department, where I used to work. Of course, being a student technician, the privilege of sharing a cubicle was one of which I dared not even dream. No, I stayed there long enough to be able to yearn for the good old days when the 10 - 15 student techs all shared two Windows workstations and a single telephone extension.

Check out Robot Stories for some good comics about working in a retail job. Everyone should work in retail at least once.

evil_d September 20, 2001 2:34 PM	12342 This comic is also not applicable to any place I've ever worked. In fact, I wear sneakers and jeans to work. Another thing this comic is not is funny.

Though they didn't all happen on the same day, both the stories from my wife are true, as is mine about the monkey animations. (I actually spend a lot of time making monkey animations.)

She actually slipped me that story from the first panel while we were in bed and she was trying to cuddle. Which she found hard to do after I went and slept in my car with the doors locked, as far from her hands as possible.

This was my life for a year, working for a company doing tech support for a product which the company had no interest in, had no plan to upgrade or patch (despite a bug list literally two typed pages long), and which had only one staff member assigned to it (yes, me) at the time I quite to go back to university. It always gave me an odd feeling when I asked for news of a patch or new version, was told a pile of lies, lies which I knew were lies, which I then dutifully passed on to users.

Tech support is so much fun!!! Just ask LadyJ, she'll back me up...

If you take some of your clothes, stuff them with newspaper and leave them propped up at your desk, you can usually get away with an extra week without any problem. Don't forget to make a head for your dummy or else they'll just call the paramedics and then you'll be screwed.

israphael September 23, 2001 7:03 PM	35381 [hr] This strip is related to work-related. Until recently, I hadn't had to go out on job interview. Now I remember why I hated them so much.

Carpenter's original film is a masterpiece, and the third film is a really interesting and odd bit of fantasy/horror cinema. The rest of the sequels are a big pile of arse, sure, but you pick on that original film, and you're in trouble...

Bah. It's plotless rubbish. Also, I know it's not really its fault, but it has to take some responsibility for the hundreds of even worse slasher films which emulated it.
But then, I even think "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is a big pile of arse.

The "Naily in my brainy" line is not only very Vasquezian in and of istelf, but is also rather noodle boy esque. However, the character isn't patently crazy, so he is not acutally Happy Noodle Boy.

I never saw Halloween. Does it have Jamie Lee Curtis's tits in it? 'Cause that'd make it good. I think that Trading Places really got a boost from her boobs. A Fish Called Wanda was good in it's own right and only needed a few flashes of cleavage.

Maybe because he's the only one in a tie? That why I used him to represent me in my work-related comic, even though the gender is wrong.

Wander into the sports department , appropriate a handgun , and "Politely Request" that she give you that name badge , or youll redecorate her office walls with little pieces of bone fragment.
