Belated April Fools

I meant to post this comic about fooling April on April Fools Day, but long covid is a bitch. So, belatedly, here I've immortalized how an innocent practical joke can make someone feel accepted and cared for. 😏

Crying Over Spilled Milk

With vaccinations starting to circulate, in person meetings are picking up again. That firm April works for had a little reopening conference, and had their general ass-istant play her usual service role. Turned out it's been a little too long since she last did this, though, and she's let herself get clumsy.

Her spilling that cup of milk gave everyone some interesting ideas about what to do with the rest of the carton, though. :)

The General Ass-istant

The management noticed a strange thing this month. Looking at the charts, office productivity spiked right at the end of November. Apparently, April's coworkers and floor manager alike were much more motivated and energetic workers after witnessing her extra humiliating punishment from the boss. Apparently, the overall increase was greater than that brought by their newest employee's actual work. So, like any good businessman, the employer reassigned her into the newly created position of general ass-istant.

April wasn't exactly thrilled at the news. But on the other hand, she's not being paid any less, and unlike her previous position this is a job where everyone can help keep her on task. Because being kept on task pretty much IS her job now, aside from the occasional memo or coffee delivered, phone call answered,or floor swept.

It's never been a happier work environment, at least for most.~
