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. :)

Social Distancing Montage

Hey all! Sorry for the long silence. I hope you're all healthy and doing okay.

So, as you might imagine, recent events have been putting a pretty restrictive limiter on my opportunity for candid portraiture. Luckily, over the last couple of weeks some of my friends who are fortunate enough to have someone to be socially distanced with have been kind enough to send me some selfies, GoPro recordings, and the like for me to draw from.

Special thank you's to all contributors! You guys and gals are the best. Meryl, you may want to check the video you sent me from around 3:45 onward, if you haven't already.

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.~

Management Decisions

It's been a while since I checked in on April at her new job. It turns out I was just in time to catch a new development!

Spoiled little whiner that she is, April complained to the boss about the office manager allegedly punishing her unfairly. A quick look at the picture is all it should take to fill you in on whose side he took.

Towel Troubles

I ended up striking up a conversation with those interminably naughty nurses after my appointment, and paying one of them a visit the next day. He was in the shower when I knocked, but his roommate let me in.

Well, as soon as he got OUT of the shower, roomie started complaining about how he keeps coming out before drying himself completely and dripping water all over the living room carpet. He had a point. More importantly though, our favorite male nurse accidentally dropped the towel wrapped around his midsection during the ensuing argument, and we both saw the aftermath of yesterday's workplace indiscretion.

As a wise Brianna once told me, "we spankers are like hornets. When one of us stings, we leave a signal behind that tells others to attack the same target." I told her she was full of shit at the time, but now I'm beginning to wonder.
