Previous Strip
Next Strip

Hasty, messy doodles, just enough to tell a story. I don't know how regular these will be, but I plan to upload one strip as soon as the following strip is done.
I don't know how many of these I'll do. Some will be funny, some will be horrifying. All of 'em will be true.

Notes on this strip:

- Yes, it was explicitly stated that we'd be fired for missing one of these meetings. Being late resulted in losing all your shifts for a week.

- Here begins the ongoing theme of passive-aggressive shittiness. It is also at this point that I begin to suspect I'm just oversensitive or something.


Next Strip: #9 Put My Thang Down, Flip It And Reverse It

These strips definitely entertain, but every time I finish one I feel my faith in the world decreasing by one. I love them.. but they also make me sad. Wow, this one especially. Hahaha, but I do love the way you laid out the beginning, especially that panel (or lack therof?) with just your face.. staring in complete honesty.

The one after this is a much lighter anecdote :)

that's seriously fucked up.


in the almost two years i've worked at the same place, we've only had "one" mandatory meeting.


if you didn't show up...you got a slap on the wrist.

and that's a really lame time to do things. couldn't they just pick certain shifts and pull aside the group, give them a skinny version and then move on? keep track of who all got the word and you'd be doing fine.

Jesus, and this is just at a restaurant/bar? I feel lucky all of a sudden.

Monthly, we have staff trainings at the pool I work at just to make sure our lifeguarding skills are up to date and we're ready for any emergencies.

And on a Sunday, when we're usually closed.

And if we miss one we can make it up.

Damn, this must have been hell for you. >: -hug-

You think THIS means you're oversensitive?

Dude. No. That's called "not liking sadistic, misogynistic creeps."

It reminds me of the job I had where you had to show up at the bosses kid's football games (he was doing play-by-play for the local cable access, don'cha know). :P
