Although it wasn't retail, I did factory work for a while and on the second day I got a verbal warning for clocking out early from my shift the night before.

The shift ended at 7 PM, you see, and I had clocked out at 6:58.

Promoting people for loyalty instead of competence is common all throughout the ideological spectrum but especially in fascism.

Crossposting this quote from the Gundam thread because I legit thought it was a reply to the retail talk here, where loyalty (to the company) is prized over competence.

The only thing about winter for me (aside from frigid temperatures) is driving in the snow. I'm south of the Mason-Dixon line and the stereotypes of southerners who don't know how to drive in snow is pretty much right on the money.

That's fair, but considering that fall and spring are exactly the same as the worst season, winter kind of becomes the best season by default.

Actually early spring is about the same as winter, just that late spring is the same as summer.

Spring can be a beautiful season, but I can't enjoy it too much because I know my least favorite season is coming up next.

After nearly 40-years as a corporate whore, I can tell you that the loyalty is absolutely a one-way street.

Took too many years to learn that there was a fine line between 'loyalty' and 'stupidity.'

Oh yes. They want you to be loyal, but will undermine you and hang you out to dry every time. From retail to office work, it's all the same. The only time I felt actually a part of a team that worked together and everyone succeeded or failed together was when I was part of the startup hustle. And even then the people on top made out exceedingly better than those below.

Good dog. Also, the corner dog story is way more involved than the Heathcliff corner cat stories. I wonder if they have better submissions, or just better filtering.

I admit I find it charming that the average Heathcliff cat story is something like, "Edna Wilcox tells us she has a cat named Smuffles who has a fuzzy tail and likes when she pets him!" Hell yeah, Edna. You pet that cat.

If you have a proper winter early spring is when all the frozen dog poop pops up.

This tickled me.

So, if you'll pardon my delay, in today's Blueberry: Kachinas are an interesting... representation? of spiritual beings. Dancers often adopt their appearance for rituals, it's not just for dolls, or Blueberry doesn't SHOOT the messenger, but he does make his day so much worse, or oh... isn't Blueberry just so sly?
