The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 26, 2024

Norm storm!

Rancid storm is more like it even though it doesn’t rhyme.

Wow, Brutus is happy!

Have another cup of coffee, as long as you have time.

Should Brutus be allowed in the office without supervision?

I come in when its dark and early but it’s amazing how much you can accomplish before everyone gets in.

Best days at work were those that started with a quiet hour, to read the mail and have a coffee and no-one to disturb that. Worst days were opposite, they usually started with someone coming into my office when I’d only just arrived with some issue that needed to be solved right away.

So he gets to know what he won’t accomplish today.

I remember that feeling well!

Cheers to Norm.

Agree! I always did the same. And there’s less traffic…

Whose “Norm”?

And read the comics.

I love the smell of coffee in the morning, and the sound of no one talking while I drink it.

Ha! That’s called organization. Love it!

When I worked I did the same. Peaceful start to a chaotic day ahead!

sometimes the norm gets an upgrade. :}

The chief will have a heart attack if he notices him in early!

Brutus, you’ve right it’s always a good idea to have a few minutes of calm any time you can get them. Hopefully Veeblefester won’t be on too much of a tear. But we’re both optimists…

My favorite time of the day also. Time to myself. A little peace and quiet before all the days issues. Smart guy. Coffee tastes better also…….

I’m with you Brutus. Alone with my thought. Just thought. I don’t want to overload my gray matter too early. Short circuit. Now where was I?

Great one Brutus. Peace and quiet and then comes Stormin’ Norm-an! Or Raging Rancid. Or Violent Veeblefester. Or …. (Gotta stop)

Batten down the hatches, Brutus.

Good one Brutus .

Catchy.

Nice turn of a phrase, Brutus!

Good to know that you have your moments.
