Traveling wears me out. I slept a LOT, but did manage to hit the gym. <br /><br />After my nap today, I elected to stay in and just snack around for dinner. With Valentine's Day looming this week, I was thinking about Bitchie Ann McSourpuss, my Goth-spinster alter-ego, and what freakish adventure she would encounter this year. I wondered, as desperate as she can be, what kind of guy would be so loathsome that she wouldn't... couldn't.. go out with. And then it came to me:<br /><br /><center><img src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/kybearfuzz/1243547/540346/540346_600.jpg" alt="Bitchie 2020 Final" title="Bitchie 2020 Final" border="3"></center><br /><br />Happy Anti-Valentine's Day :)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kybearfuzz&ditemid=939495" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2016-12-31:2669757:875093 2017-10-03T01:01:28Z 2017-10-03T01:01:28Z okay public 0 Last Friday, one of my coworkers retired after 30 years of service. It was a good party. The planning committee did a great job, setting up the food and decorations. The retiree has been a friend of mine for years. She and I often laugh about TV, work, etc. <br /><br />The retirement cartoon that I drew for her was pretty good. It was well received. And the planning committee even had it put on her retirement cake. I had the original in a frame to give to her. <br /><br /> I did a five minute standup routine when I presented her with the cartoon. I wore a Hawaiian shirt that she despised, which is a joke between the two of us. I made jokes about her inappropriate Abercrombie and Fitch lunch bag, her inability to understand multiple driving paths to work, and, naturally, fart jokes. <br /><br /> I was sitting at a table of past retirees, when one of them decided to point out that she did not get a retirement cartoon. The lady is one of questionable temperament. I have passed her in the hallways at work, said hello or good morning, only to have her completely ignore me. I told her that I drew retirement cartoons when I had the time. I told her about other retirees who did not get a retirement cartoon, because I was either busy or traveling or on vacation.<br /><br /> Later that day, it occurred to me that the lady who questioned her lack of retirement cartoon, did not have a retirement party because she just left one day and didn't return. <br /><br /> I don't feel guilty about failing to draw her a cartoon, since no celebration was held. Still, it did bother me that she chose to point this out in front of everyone. <br /><br />Oh well.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kybearfuzz&ditemid=875093" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
