The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 09, 2024

Just saving up the energy for the weekend.

They’ll Take Your Time, Your Energy… And Your Stuff

Back in my call centre days at one particular place, I had to use my personal laptop for work. Everyone at that call centre had to, except a few.

I knew it wasn’t ideal, but my tax agent helped me claim my laptop on my taxes, so I was fine with it.

Obviously, I’d take it home at the end of the day. At one point, they tried to convince me to leave it there so others could use it to work. (What the f***?)

I had to turn down three separate managers who wanted me to unlock my laptop during my lunch break for various someone else’s to use.

But the real doozy was, when I left, they tried to tell me that since I’d claimed my laptop on tax, I had to leave it behind because it (somehow) made it theirs?

Fun times. Fun times.

All gave some – Some gave all. Brutus gave his all at work. Avoiding Mr V. Let Big Boy rest.

“Life in the LAST lane”.

The warrior’s rest.

You try putting up with Rancid Veeblefester for a week and let’s see what happens.

Life in the nap lane

Brutus is a real dreamer.

He’s getting his “motor running for a wild weekend” George Jones, Finally Friday

It looks like Brutus has been watching the new Break Dancing debut at the summer Olympics. (That is a new modern twist to the old ‘Hop, Skip and a Jump.’)

Surely make you lose your mind.

hmm, seems kinda stopped for a rest then fast. :}

That’s okay Brutus, you’ve worked hard and put up with the vagaries of Veeblefester’s whims all week. You deserve a relaxing night at home.

Life in the fast asleep lane. Your man works hard Gladys.

That would be a great name for a classic rock tune Gladys. :)

If you spent all week with Rancid and then came home to find “that” mother in law you’d realize that either sleep or a drunken stupor are appropriate safeguards for sanity.

Even on the highway of life, you have to hit the rest stops sometimes. This is me within a couple of hours getting home from work any night. And I really try to stay up to a reasonable time so I don’t wake up really early.

The fast lane is on a two way highway in both directions. It’s your choice too …..

Surely make you LOSEr your mind Gladys!

Maybe he is just resting for Saturday and Sunday…….no chance I guess!

Probably gave her the “Do you know how hard I worked?!” speech.

Best lane to be in on a Friday night

he’s not brutally handsome; she’s not terminally pretty

Zzzoom!

He’s been rode hard and put away wet.

He was too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it, Life in the Fast Lane.

Fasten your seatbelt Gladys .

Ahhhh! Gladys is an Eagles fan! Yes….

A nap is a good thing to find.

Heartache Tonight.

Now, if she would put on a big dinner and have the house full of its smell, he might miss the chair and ooo and aaah over his lade’’s culinary delight. Evidently, she expected Brutus to provide all the delights. I can remember bringing home the double burgers from Sonic on Friday. They had a sale on in those, days.

brutus is just saving his energy for bedtime… ☺

Literally my house right now…
