One of the first jobs I had after being promoted to Buyer was to procure a washer and dryer for our C.E.O. Since it went to some apartment and not his house the company grapevine was saying they were for his mistress. Not so much stupid but just not really caring what people thought. And he had 7 kids!
I got tired of the cheap coffee and always finding the pot empty, so I brought in my own Keurig. Then they told me we weren’t allowed to have coffee makers at our desks. So I just brought my Keurig to the coffee area, made my cup, and then brought it back. At $95/hr (I was a consultant) you’d think they would have figured out which option cost them less.
Is this a reference to Goldman-Sachs no longer providing free coffee to their employees? Is this a way of telling those complaining employees things could be worse?
To protect my security my bank times and will end my session usually in the middle of a task. I have to sign in again and again when this happens. They are sorry for the inconvenience.

In real life, would Rita be able to keep employees? They’d be transferring out like mad. But, in the comic world, it’ sunnier than heck.

Rita, you are being unreasonable. Then again, what else is new?

Rita is an evil little woman.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion
It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed
The hands acquire shakes
The shakes become a warning
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion

Or … “My break will be over by then” in the bottom-left dialogue balloon.
Stuff happens, John and Scott. Thanks always for a fun comic.
