I always hate it when the boss comes in to observe you working. I mean c’mon…I’m there, I’m getting it done, I’m doing a good job. But when the boss comes in and starts looking over your shoulder or stands at the back of the room and observes, it’s a little nerve racking. You start [...]
You know what? Your system IS dumb. I’m a little sick of it. I went to grade school. I went to Junior High and High School. I was told I NEEDED to go to college because you just can’t make a decent living without a college degree. So I went to college. And when I [...]
This totally sort of kind of happened to me once. Totally. I was working this temp job, and they had a luncheon. I didn’t know about it ahead of time (nobody tells the temp these things), but my boss came around and let me know that I was indeed invited to take part in the [...]
I am back from my vacation!! I had a really fun trip. I got home to discover that my baseball song has officially made its way onto iTunes. Pretty sweet! You can find it on iTunes by clicking here. If you missed the cartoon that features the song, you can view it here: http://www.raccoontoons.com/baseball.html Good to [...]
As you can see, I’m still on vacation. Thanks once again to Gabriel Reed, for the great guest comic strip! I’ll be back next week and updating regularly again. And here for no apparent reason, is a picture of a goat fish.

I’ve never written a fake note from my doctor to get out of work before. But once upon a time I was known to…”avoid” going to school on some days. Especially on my birthday. As a youth I always made it a point to skip school on my birthday. I figured it was the best [...]
How to make your mundane button pushing job just a little more exciting, as written by someone who’s been there: First, position yourself so that you have a decent view of the bathroom doors. You need an unobstructed view to really be an impartial judge. Strive for a direct line of sight. If it’s going to be [...]
There are two types of work: There’s the kind of work that gets you so involved that when you finally stop working the sun has come up and it’s 6am in the morning, and there’s the kind of work that when you finally stop working and look at the clock you realize it’s only been [...]
Ah the joys of office work. I’ve been there. You’ve been there. In fact, a lot of you are there right now. At this very moment.
