So Retro
On the plus side, people assume I know a lot of stuff because I’ve been around a while, and I actually know a lot of stuff! On the other hand, now I can apparently sleep “wrong” once and then I can’t turn my head for a week.

There’s Always Room for Cake
The deal is supposed to be: I eat the cake alone, out of sight, like some sneaky kitchen gremlin hiding my prey, and then I don’t have to share with the rest of the family. Foolproof.
-
Full Circle
This feels like a good time for a reminder that these comics are inspired by real life, and not meant to be taken as an accurate representation of real people and events.
-
Agent of the Company
I’ve definitely heard plenty “what the fudge” type of last-moment language moderations.
-
Ask Me Almost Anything
I expect that everyone may break the build at some point, but not everyone can get the boss to swear at them.

How Sure Are You?
It’s even better when the conflict is impossible: “So you detected the issue 3 hours before it started?”

Thankfully this particular scenario happened some time ago and it’s less common now for another team to gleefully ignore the severity classifications.

We are glad to have the opportunity to talk with other parents, but I definitely need a minute to psych myself up for it.

To be fair, the girl scouts also immediately forgot the “no throwing” candy policy, but they’re not…you know…baseball players.

Romantic Economy
Having received a first-class upgrade before, I sympathize with how tough this decision must have been.
