    We only had to submit an original and a carbon.

      And then it gets denied due to ‘needs of the service’.

      Your copy, the receiving office’s copy, and the copy that actually gets sent along the line

      I’m actually a little surprised that Sweetheart requires only triplicate. Sweetheart loves her copies.

    I’m so happy to see Dennis getting coffee! I feared we’d find him swigging stolen tequila in a gutter somewhere. Perhaps he is about to start a quest for his missing mojo?

    His perfect squire? Nick, no less!

      And whatever happened with the Hundred Dresses?

      Well, that would explain the chapter title. If Nick ends up carting Tip around on his quest, he’ll end up angry with everything – including the sky.

        How could we tell the difference?

          Yeah, it might not be a big difference. Normally he’s not actually angry… He’s just a dick.

    The road to recovery has begun when you care enough to do the paperwork. 🙂

    daw, that’s the happiest we’ve seen tip in a while.

    Glad to see Tip taking some sort of effort to turn this funk around.

    Didn’t he just have all that off-time in Vermont and then off on the Habakkuk?

      Tip referred to their Vermont trip as “unauthorized”, and expected disciplinary action for it. That suggests that it was not, in fact, “off-time”. Even if that time was technically “off”, they were still working the whole time — a lot more than they would have been at the office. And since it was unauthorized, they weren’t getting paid for a field mission.

      Then the Habakkuk was a diversion while they were en route from Vermont back to headquarters, so who knows how it ended up being logged in the time sheets. It was only two days, and they were working that entire time as well.

      I don’t know if he’s gone so much as a weekend without working since he and Unity left for Vermont.

        My wife is a civil servant as well and seems to have the same problem.
        She puts in more time and effort off the clock than on it.

        They rescued non-human sapient, the sea monster, so they should have had no problems justifying their time on the Habakkuk.

          That’s not a qualifier for whether it was paid time, though. They saved The Little House and restored Whimsy herself to control, and that was vacation time for the entire team.

          Of course, since Sweetheart is now the Director, she could retroactively authorize both the Vermont excursion and the Habakkuk. It would mean more paperwork, but she does love her paperwork.

    A great date last night and paperwork to file today? No wonder Sweetheart is in a great mood!

    Glad I work for IT, where everything *has* to be digital.
