Chapter: Comics
I worked at a place where a coworker was fired for sleeping on the job. Not the casual nodding off at your desk kind of thing. He was flat out lying down on the floor of his office sleeping. I guess he didn’t have a good excuse for that because he was immediately tossed out. At least try the “low blood sugar” defense. Maybe the boss will buy you a candy bar instead.

Whatever happened to his job as a pillow tester?
[Harshest.] The turtle monitor – interesting.
I always used to see these stories on the news about how some “ahead-of-it’s-time” employer had a policy of letting their employees take naps during the day in order to “encourage creativity”. I’ve also noticed that I haven’t seen those stories since the beginning of the current recession…
Turtle Monitor Stand + Kinda Cool Ameuba Screensaver. Almost makes me jealous about Biff’s job and I’m a game programmer. He shouldn’t slack off like that!
biff must have found a gunderlock proof sleeping bag
The harshest indeed.
I’m still waiting to see him use one of those levers that are on his chair.
Beege, You can’t handle the use of the levers! They produce effects so far beyond human comprehension that your brain will explode. Or implode. Or catch fire. Or maybe all three at once!
I still have an office door. Some people in my group have lost their office doors… For cause. :O
eh, more make yourself at home at work, it’s a bit played out, needs more time travel, aliens, weird stuff
So that’s a turtle monitor stand today? Oh well, at least that one should stay on his desk for a while. Not like the rocket
Observe that on Monday, he’s playing with fire, and has a rocket stand. Today, he’s pulled up into his shell, and has a turtle stand.
I daresay that’s the theme – Monitor stands that relate to Biff’s current activity.

I suggest coping or getting comfy at work, Monday was adjusting back to work after camping.
Honestly to me Biff looks pregnant in this image.
Well at least fat 🙂
Is the theme camping, or camping related things? Sleeping bag, griddle (camping sites have power too!)…
Or maybe camping things in every day life. Mebbe.
just for the record – I used to take naps at work. And I encouraged my employees to do the same. Oddly, I don’t recall a time when anybody took me up on it.
@john i respectfully disagree. this comic is AWESOME just the way it is and i think it shuld stay this way.
I saw a human-interest story on how Google has a playground and a video arcade in their office. It struck me as kinda like NirvanhaCorp. from the Dilbert tv show.
