Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for September 22, 2023

Once again, I feel Rita is overqualified.

Doesn’t know Scuttlebutt…………

Scuttlebutt in slang usage means rumor or gossip, deriving from the nautical term for the cask used to serve water (or, later, a water fountain).

The term corresponds to the colloquial concept of a water cooler in an office setting, which at times becomes the focus of congregation and casual discussion. Water for immediate consumption on a sailing ship was conventionally stored in a scuttled butt: a butt (cask) which had been scuttled by making a hole in it so the water could be withdrawn. Since sailors exchanged gossip when they gathered at the scuttlebutt for a drink of water, scuttlebutt became Navy slang for gossip or rumors.

I’m impressed that the previous two comments both correctly spell “scuttlebutt”. (Is there another word with so many t’s?)?

Michelle 2024!

She’s going after you Rump better watch out

Rita is a lot like Trump. She’s better off where she is. She has reached the top level of the “Peter Principle”.

Sociopathy is common in management and politics.
