The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 14, 2022

Logistical obstacles

I blame it on the supply chain.

It’s the last time he will be sorry about being late.

“That’s okay m’boy! Be as late as you want! We seem to be more productive without you around!” ;D

Fire him Chief. He’ll never be late again.

He is reinforcing his previous statement.

Now that’s something I can’t understand, namely, coming late to work. I’ve always arrived early. In my last job, I was often the guy that opened the store at around 7 AM. That gave me the time to get the stock work out of the way before working the floor.

maybe yesterday was today, did ya think about that. :D

just wait till tomorrow

How’s about I leave early to make up for it?

I was rarely late and if I were it was because of circumstances beyond my control. As noted above, things happen and when I was a shift supervisor I tried to be flexible and understanding; there were a few folks who were intractably late and I was told once, “this whole being at work at a certain time doesn’t work for me.” He had his feelings hurt when he was terminated by the city because of his chronic lateness.

Oops!

Good ole’ Brutus Thornapple, he can’t even keep his excuses straight from one day to the next.

That was a golden oldie excuse…

Great Brutus, now Veeblefester has you pegged as a serial liar.

Oops.

He’s probably never late for lunch his break!

I have a driver working for me who was late for his route EVERY day. Until I told him, “Now’s not a good time to be looking for a new job.” He’s been on time for two weeks so far!

My father taught me that I should never make a promise I couldn’t keep. It looks like Brutus did just that.

Something similar happened on “So Help Me Todd”. Marcia Gay Harden was the guy’s brilliant lawyer, helping only because he was her loser son’s former friend. He won’t do it again. Then all evidence pointed to him for a robbery. It was hopeless but Todd figured it out.

@preacherman- Yeah and probably to have some coffee and eat some breakfast.

Chief’s got a point….

Today is the first day of the rest of his life. So for sure this time.
