I think every meeting is an opportunity to discuss how to kill The Batman.

Sometimes, you just can’t take in any more bullshit and you have to spit some out. Also, if I had my druthers, a dump truck dumping things out would be the official sign for bullshit.

As for marketing specialists, there are smart ones out there. But for every one that knows what they are doing, there are 10 that don’t know how to use normal english without terms like “value added” every other sentence.

Yet another tip for success, courtesy of the T4S team of myself, Marty and Lindsay! If you’re liking these lately, check out the @Tips4Success feed on Twitter. It’s our testing ground.

Much like the last comic, this comic was written as part of a collaboration with my good friends Lindsay and Marty. I can’t say for sure which one of us wrote it, let’s just say we traded off words. Lindsay does amazing coffee-themed tote bags, wallets, belts and other such things. Marty does the nerd news blog Blast-O-Rama. Both are worth a click.

More on this project soon enough.

Add this to a mental list of Hired to Fired: The System’s Tips for Success.

What’s the weirdest place you’ve ever taken a conference call? One Systemic has already mentioned a graveyard. Can anyone match / top that?

UPDATE: You can even buy this as a print from my store!

Today’s comic was largely inspired by two things:

1. Loldwell’s awesome comic on his cycle known as “An Earful of Nothing”.
2. The entirety of my professional career.

If you haven’t checked out Loldwell yet, you really need to. I linked to it a while back and it is always worth the read. He also does comics / illustrations for College Humor, but they don’t need a link cuz they are doing juuuuust fine.

You know who COULD use your help? ME! I could still use your help by preordering the new BEARD SHIRTS. They are only $17.00 plus shipping and preordering helps me figure out a lot about how many to order. I’m running preorder through the end of this week so be sure to PREORDER NOW!

If you notice the tags, this is pretty much a true story.

This thought occurred to me the other day.  I’ll never look at Venn Diagrams the same way again.

Remember, HilariAwesome is now live, complete with the new “Bike Sniper” shirt preorder! The discounted prices on all items (AKA “Sale”) are available through 10/26, and all proceeds go directly back into making this comic happen. You can even get a poster-quality print of this very comic!
