Here's the 5th newspaper/chapter break from Weapon Brown! At least one Goon visited me at my book signing this past Saturday at Comics Etc. in Rochester (mwah!) I will be having another book signing in Buffalo this Wednesday. The deets are here! I hope any Buffalo based Goons who can make it will turn out!

Gil Didn't Gil have a whole drawer full of rocks and it broke from the weight? Retail  Marla's disregard for company policy bites her in the rear end yet again. You know, I would honestly love to see Marla actually put her money where her mouth is instead of constantly spouting off platitudes and start her own independent store. Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  Dustin  Dustin: That was a great game. Ed: I'll say. There's nothing like ballpark food. On the Fastrack  Hope you don't have any job where you need to multitask then.

Midnight Moth posted:On the Fastrack If you do a job that involves programming it can sometimes take a half the day to properly get into "the zone" where you are real productive and got the whole project loaded into your working memory so to speak, so you can get a nice complete picture of what you're working on, all the kinks and problems and to do lists. Then someone comes right a long and needs you to help them because outlook froze or some poo poo like that. Or you need to do some trivial and boring office work, usually in MS office. Totally ruins everything you worked to accomplish and you won't get up to the same productivity again today. I guess your job is not challenging and just rote office work then you can multitask fine as long as you got a nice system to keep all the reminders going off in time, so you don't forget stuff.

She's very good at math and physics, she could have gone to Cern and pursue a career there, but she chose to go to restaurant business and works as a waitress. She's not a dropout or someone who didn't get work, it was 100% her choice. Likes it more, and doesn't find it stressful. At least she's happy, and that's what matters most.

Pidmon posted:Ah yes, because a silenced revolver wouldn't be heard in THE NEXT ROOM. From what I picked up reading TFR you can actually silence some revolvers, and if you use a small caliber and subsonic ammunition you can actually silence gunshots pretty well, going from ear-shattering to "just" a really loud noise but AFAIK only outside where the sound won't bounce around. So let's say he had his really big three wall window+skylight open and some really thick padded walls while the secretary used noise canceling headphones while listening to loud music and it might work, still pretty darn dumb though. Or maybe he used one of these : http://s4.postimg.org/5hn4ef0ka/Dewalt_Nail_Gun.jpg

If company policy says don't open the box then I'm not opening that box unless directly ordered to by someone higher up. If it's my own store then I'm still not opening that box because I'd have to eat the loss on having to sell an opened item at a discount when the customer decides not to buy it.

And the plot plods forward in today's Jane's World Non Sequitur  Cap'n Eddie's the best. Doublin' the Heavenly Nostrils, Dana's back on the line..  Ok, I really did have to look up "fetlock". Now I know.   Or, is it a cat that is a remote control helicopter... Kliban   9 Chickweed Lane 6/2/2003  Yeah, ok, whatever. Zits  Is that stuff still around? Yeah, I know hair mousse, styling gel, whatever, but brylcreem was unique. In "let's just slather petroleum jelly on our hair" unique. Huh. I guess it is. The only time I used it was for 50's day when I was in HS. Kevin & Kell   Holbrook's "one liners" never cease to suck. Wha? Both are perfectly acceptable! I stopped smoking in '08, but every time I either walk by a cigar shop, or smell one burning somewhere, I about melt right there on the pavement omgiwantitiwantitiwantitiwantit!
