Aaaah…you didn’t read the fine print on your contract did you?
I, Mr K.Noord, hereby do give up my soul for eternity, ad infinitum, and any benefits that soul may have offered or supplied my corporal being, without due prejudice blah blah blah…

Oh, right! And those “plans for the evening” include writing a comic and answering comments when you could be working on that proposal?
Comment by museditions — 12 August 2008 #
that’s exactly the reason why i’m not at the top of the corporate ladder, and never will be for that matter… that and the fact that i don’t make coffee

Minions don’t have social lives Kyk. Didn’t you get the memo?
Comment by Parenthesis — 12 August 2008 #
Dear Mr Kyk, Please read, sign and date this letter of appointment:
I shall make myself available at all times to do the boss’ bidding. I will remember to keep the whip at hand at all times and whip myself into action should I feel the need for sleep or a private life. I will remember that I am a martyr to my job and I like it that way. Office hours are whenever the boss says I will be there. Lunch hour – only when the boss doesn’t have other plans for me. Leave – haha
SIGNED ……………. DATE……………

As far as I am concerned if anything lands in my inbox after 5pm on a Friday I didn’t receive it until Monday morning.
They can kiss my ass.

charmskool mentioned whips twice. I thought that was my prerogative….
Comment by nursemyra — 12 August 2008 #
Ah heck Nursemyra I think Kyknoord I think whips just can’t help myself. Well, whips and succubi….

dolce: Contract? The first sign I had that something was amiss was when I heard the cell door slam closed.
museditions: What can I say? I’m a wild tearaway sort of guy.
stef: It’s remarkably easy. Tea is more of a challenge.
parenthesis: I’m not in the loop.
charmskool: Nice try, but I’m not really keen to do your job.
miss M: What about one minute to 5?
nursemyra: It is, but Charmskool has a diverse portfolio.
charmskool (again): It’s the leather, isn’t it?

“Why you’re just not being corporate…” is just boss-speak for “i fucked off all week, need to go nail the girlfriend before going home to the wife, and don’t want this to interfere with my golf weekend with the boys…”
it’s a five o’clock world when the whistle blows!

daisy:Livin’ on money that I ain’t made yet.
Comment by kyknoord — 12 August 2008 #
…AND DURING THE WEEKEND I MORPHE INTO A NORMAL HUMAN BEING AND LEAVE MY ROBOT COSTUME AT WORK! Is what you shoulda said.

You’re on my project steering committee, aren’t you.
Was wondering who just moved the deadline forward?
Thanx..for nothing!
Comment by Revolving Credit — 12 August 2008 #
That one minute is spent trying to decide if the person requesting is actually important enough for me to warrent doing some work.
And then the minute is up and I’m off for the weekend

Your lack of a proactive approach has diminished the positive outcomes of the Win-Win paradigm. There is no “I” in team. Of course, there is no “U” in team either, but they always omit that point.
Comment by Uncle Keith — 12 August 2008 #
Ha! Once a kid called me at 4:00p to write a scholarship letter for him and it needed to be sent next day mail to make the deadline. The difference between him and your boss – the kid was 17.

Cuz every time my
babydog smiles at me, I know thats its all worthwhile…not quite the same, is it?
Comment by daisyfae — 13 August 2008 #
peas: Actually, I use my robot costume for attending sci-fi conventions.
revo: It was the least I could do.
miss M: Okay, what about two minutes to 5?
uncle keith: Yup, I’m afraid the ol’ win-win paradigm is going to have to muddle along without me.
robin: One day that kid will probably be my boss.
daisy: True, but there’s still a five o’clock you inside your clothes.

it’s comics like this that make me glad i dont have to go back to work for at least another 4 months.
Comment by expensivemistakescheapthrills — 13 August 2008 #
Well one of those minutes would be spent picking my nose, and then we’re back to that final 1 minute.
Comment by The Divine Miss M — 13 August 2008 #
“clothes”? shit. i knew i was forgetting something. no wonder the boss has left me alone for the week…
Comment by daisyfae — 13 August 2008 #
After reading your comments on other blogs, I decided to venture over here and read a bit of your stuff.
I think I’ve seen those comics before somewhere…not sure where…but it feels like some of those new conversations – like this one – are coming straight out of my world. Even more to the (less politically correct) point than Dilbert!
