Close to Home by John McPherson for August 17, 2024

It’s always something…

I hate these quarterly reviews…and I have to write them….

Or you’ll get sent back to heaven.

“Thanks for the feedback, I’ll get right on that utter hopelessness thing. Oh, you got a little sump’n on your horn. No, the other one. There… you got it.”

DING! DING! DING! DING!

GREEN PLAID ALERT!

Everybody do a shot!

Even if you’re not feeling it, try to stay in character, just like method actors are trained to do.

Your next review comes up in ten thousand years!

So we are sending you to cover the 2024 elections.

I’ve been on the receiving end of some of these.

Burn baby burn.(Huey Newton?)

The bible is full of ridiculous stories.

Performance reviews ARE hell for both the employer and the employee.

How about an audit

But I did abandon all hope when I entered here. I think you should note that.

It’s such a far, silly remove that it’s funny!

I would tell you to go to hell, but………well…….you know……..

reminds me of the old Farside where a guy’s in hell whistling while pushing a heavy wheelbarrow, and the demons in the background are sayin’ something like “I don’t think we’re getting through to that guy!”

I tried my worst. :)

I’m doing the best I could….what the H-ELL do you want from me?

So, tRump made the deal.

American business at its “best.”

I find it appropriate that there are performance reviews in hell. The whole scheme is evil.

His penalty for eating meat on Friday once as a kid.

We have standards to uphold.

Utter hopelessness. But aren’t performance reviews exactly that?

Please send the great pumpkin there.

Been there, done that.
