Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 30, 2023

If Stanley’s a steamer, he’ll never be employee of the month.

Stanley can cross ‘Anger Management Counselor’ off his list of possible careers.

Tax time will do that to you.

someone is in dire need of prozac around there

How I often wanted to do that.

Stanley was holding it together until Edna insisted he simply apply himself.

I can relate Stanley. I’ve applied for a refi. The application process took 2 months with me giving the bank the same paperwork about 6 times,Now I’ve spent 2 years asking to be let out of a Time Share. They finally okayed my application and had me download an 11 page document that I have to sign and have notarized. And give them my only remaining copy of Dale’s Death Certificate. Why they need that I’ll never know.

I wonder how he will feel about the arrest, booking and fingerprinting, and arraignment processes?

It was when she asked “what is your greatest weakness” that he lost it.

“DUMB QUESTIONS!” was his answer.

Good morning Balladeers.

I’ve wanted to do that during interviews.

Once I said to the interviewer: now that was a complete waste of my time can I have my train fare expense (just $10 at that time) they just stared at me dumbfounded and I stared back. but didn’t get my money

I have felt the same sort of frustration when dealing with large companies.

The women in this comic always look the same. The men are always different.

Well, I guess his wife has no choice!

I think we all share Stanley’s frustration. And this was over such a mundane thing to boot. Him just wanting to renew his membership to the Ballard St. Pulleys and Applications club.

Ironically, he was applying to be an Office Furniture Salesman…

Usually by the third interview, people are used to it.

Under the section for Stanley’s Endowments, Edna wrote “small”.
