Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 10, 2013

Interesting.

We want you to feel at home in your little cubicle…

And the problem is….?

What we all need is a little brainwash….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cahFMKorqM

Hey, after weeks of anticipation of ‘The’ Labor day off… it’s going to take a while to come down from the high.

Close all watertight doors.

It’s definitely after Labor Day, gas prices went back down today!!

@ Night-Gaunt49

“Don’t you wish that were true? Don’t you wish we had 6 weeks of paid vacation like the civilized Europeans? Me to”

NO WAY, even taking a few days off cost me more money than it is worth.

Now if the guy who fishes could just convince the woman in the pool to stock it with trout…

Is she part of the secretarial pool?

Anyone else really wanting to have a cubicle-pool now?

I LIKE IT!!

Now, see, it’s that kind of thinking that nothing gets solved.

It really bothers some Americans that things are actally better in other places…

now THAT’S a hemorrhoid ring!

Agent54, what if it didn’t cost you any money….would that change your mind? That’s Europe….

Brings to mind Jethro Bodine, who was always taking a dip in the secretarial pool…

sad part is, he never left his cubicle…

STILL huntin’ that font…

‘Pool cube’

I had 5 weeks after 20 years,under a “private” union,and it felt luxurious. Most times I would hook onto a 3 or 4 day holiday and it felt like several vacations every year.

I want the cubicle w/ the pool,…

You should have allowed me to work from home.

After going through labor day, it’s not uncommon to suffer from post-party depression.

some should just stay home…..

if he caught those fish in the pool she’s in, they should not stink. That pool on the other hand…

What I want to know is, where’s the grill?

Wasn’t Labor Day last week? And how is that cubicle holding water without leaking? The water pressure alone should knock those fabric walls down.

now if that could only apply to women “post partum (labor)” as well……..not in this world!

I think offices should have pools and hot tubs. People might spend more hours at work.

I worked in a company that was going through the y2K transition (you old timers remember that?). Anyway, the test was to turn all the computers ahead to about an hour before New Year’s on a friday evening when the rest of the office was out for the weekend. About 5 PM, the crew comes in and starts decorating the office for New Years. They had party hats and noise makers. This was July. I did not ask if they had booze.

Why do people keep expecting comics to comply with the laws of physics? It’s a comic! It’s humor, not gritty realism.

We Americans are so full of ourselves we think we have it all…..Sure, we have the best of everything…Except the most precious gift of all…time….. Americans don’t have any time to themselves……..

I can’t WAIT for summer to be over. Heat, humidity, bugs, t-storms. No thanks.

I could understand her getting the pool after being in labor with child, but what did the guy next door do to qualify for the beach umbrella? Nyuk, nyuk.

I worked at three main jobs before forced retirement…..

Ranch labor….very little set vacation timeMeat Department janitor for a grocery store chain…No vacation as it was part time. Only after a family emergency did I get a *paid vacation ( vacation to go and train to care for my Mother who was being put on home dialysis….paid ONLY to the maximum hours allowed by the company)Telemarketing : No paid vacation to non management employees…..also any time taken had to be made up before said time was taken….I lasted 4 years – 1998 to 2002!

@Blue-BoyI did NOT miss the point.When you are married with children: days off mean1. Fix crap that is broken around the house – which costs money. 2. Taking family to places I don’t care to go to for educational reasons – which costs money. 3. If I was to take a real vacation, it would cost a lot more than I get paid per week, plus aggravation. 4. I would rather have my hobbies that I can do in spare time, which still cost money – but less.

Did anyone notice that it was a man with the umbrella and drinks cooler next to the woman in the pool, and the guy’s umbrella was hanging over the gal’s pool? Hmmm maybe they went together for the long weekend… Office romance is not dead.

..And here I thought they were hubby & wife and he’s accomadating her. You know…bring your spouse to work thingie.

It’s called cartoon physics.

No worries! I have to remind myself of that every now and again. ;0)
