Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Calling someone out of the blue is rude nowadays, because mainly we only get spam calls.
Texts and emails are better, and if you just want to talk for a while, schedule it with a text.
This is the new Way.
We've come full circle back to pagers.
I'm sure I've still got mine in a drawer somewhere
The "nothing urgent" almost always gets left out and I end up a ball of anxiety from it. Just give me some details on what to expect. fuck.
I feel you deep in my marrow on this one which is why I go out of my way to let people know, and am explicit what the unpleasantness would be if it was urgent. Better to rip off the bandage quick than say the dreaded 'We need to talk..........................'
Rude where? Totally normal here.
My inbox with >1000 inread emails says otherwise. You want something from me? Call me. Emails are just for meeting notes and other information for archival. Fuck every single one asking me to do something via email.
Instant messaging is the absolutely worst by the way. Nothing is archived and its way less efficient than a quick call.
I am curious, do you pick up all your calls?
If im not on dnd, yes. I work closely with project management and customers though.
You FUCKING REEK of C-suite...
I have no idea what that is though
He means you sound like a corporate executive. CEO, CIO, CFO....
Lol, No. Not even close. I'm a mechanical engineer and we're super understaffed. It's terrible!
Haha. I’m a mechanical engineer and I completely agree with you.
Sometimes there are 5 email responses in a chain with long comments from different people. I just want to have a 5 min call to sort it out. Also, I get a lot of emails while in a meeting and later need to get to work instead of checking all my emails. If you need something urgent, pick up the phone and call me or wait for a week until I clear my inbox.
Bless ya. Logistics here. I run equipment designed to be staffed by 4-6 people. We run it with 2-3. All the C-suite at my corporation can say about that is that we don't clean enough, lol.
