I can’t use this excuse at work because I am on my 3rd boss in four years and fourth corporate overlords. And yes, I have been at the same job the whole time (I’ve not been job-hopping, the job keeps hopping on its own).
I have long wondered about this. On the day I drew this, it was a Friday and I had been sitting at a light when the tornado sirens went off. No one seemed to think anything about it. If it had been a real emergency, I don’t know how long it would have taken us to realize that.
This seemed appropriate for the times as the “impeachment proceedings” appear to me to just be a Rorshach test for the voting public (with no right answer).
Both homeopathy and “real” medicine involve a lot of placebo effect. I’m not saying they’re equal, but that often neither will work if the person doesn’t believe they will.
I learned this fact while researching wombats for a book I was writing that everyone who has read loves and still quotes passages back to me but, sadly, you will probably never see.
