Business Casual

Actually, there is one thing that I use even less than a calendar. And that's a phone book. Could there be a larger waste of paper than these things? I always wondered why conservationists don't rally against them harder. Maybe they just haven't been able to come up with a catchy slogan and ad campaign yet the way they have for fur. Or maybe's there's a secret phone book lobby group that argues for the continued existence. Who knows? I just know that the only use mine get is when I start a fire with them.

I've never ended a story mid-week like that, but I wasn't sure I needed another epilogue. So, I went back to Business Casual's regularly scheduled gags.

And speaking of gags, today's strip was inspired by a recent company email where one line of the email specifically stated we were not allowed to put open flames out as Christmas decorations. Really??? That's an actual issue? I'd like to think that common sense would take charge here, but since the warning was in the email, it's likely that an incident occurred in the past and now must be addressed every year.

Yes, I'm taking a break from the gag-a-day strips and starting up a new storyline. However, since I don't want the story to take 2 months to complete, I'm moving back to a 3 days a week schedule for the next few weeks at the least. Who knows, maybe I'll keep up the pace through the end of the year.
