#217 - the revenge of the SHOE GOBLIN - part 9

I am going to have to come in to work tomorrow. On a saturday. I know I've told you this before but I don't think I can overstate this fact. I AM GOING TO BE WORKING ON A SATURDAY.

Bah.

words do not exist to describe my rage

Working on weekends is bad. It's wrong in so many ways I cannot begin to list them here. But there was one tiny silver lining to coming in to work today - we were told during the week that we would be getting donuts to ease our saturday work pain. It was this tiny nugget of joy that I clung to, the one thing that was stopping me from collapsing into a sobbing heap beneath my desk.

 Then I got this email:

  I must offer my most humble apologies. . . I didn't get a chance to go and get doughnuts!!!! No rest for the wicked and all.

So here you go. . . A digital replacement. . .

 


Thanks guys and gals!

He might as well have just come round the office and spat in each of our faces.

I've been getting some pictures of people wearing the new shirt and they all look stupefyingly fashionable. Just take a look at PCJ, Jesse and young Ellie. Snappy!

single handedly bringing down capitalism from within

There is something very liberating about going through a market research survey and answering every question at random. Apparently I am considering buying patio awnings and books about ancient history.

 

Also, why do girls get all the cool stuff?

Please don't forget to wash your hands. Especially if you share your desk with a maniacal shoe-obsessed fairy-creature.

You probably don't realise, but Beaver and Steve is actually an entirely TRUE STORY, and now I have conclusive proof: Shoe Goblin's Blog! It's all gone a bit meta. If you have a look around you might even find another familiar character. Oh! Suprises!

Obligatory merchandise links: please buy my shirts and books!

There is some sort of perspective supposed to be going on in that last panel, but it is not the good sort of perspective. And that word you can't read in the third panel is 'reason'. I really need to get out of the habit of finishing these comics at 3am...

Thanks to Jason for sending me a brilliant picture of himself modelling the Beaver and Steve T-shirt. I particularly like how the placement of the camera makes him look kind of like a cyborg. Rrr! If you would like to look as splendid as Jason it's not too late - there are still shirts available to buy with money!

 I might have to take a bit of break once this story is finally over - as this story, 6 day weeks and flat hunting have all dragged on I am feeling more and more drained, and sadly I have to do the other two. How was it taht I used to find this so easy?
