    That Barbie Doll is a liar, now.
    She has clearly found a Joy other than Service.

      Department of Irradiation asked for files. Bubbles got ’em. Can’t ask for better service than that. ^_^

        Indeed not. And it’s not as though Miss Cooler is outside her rights in choosing to favor those who like her over those who do not when deciding who to serve and how. ^_^

      Not if she’s serving someone else. Consider the earlier function of that body….

    Wow, all that time in wine country really improved her disposition. She only STARTED her unkind rant at a well-meaning coworker this time.

      It’s all about the character development

    I can’t wait to see how Tips assignment ties in.

      Whatever his assignment is, it probably involves a lot of interaction with the swarm of bees he’s deathly allergic to.

    “Bubbles” is a pretty good nickname, but somehow I think the water cooler should have something more formal. How about “Serena Imelda Miranda Ojeda?” (Couldn’t find an Irish name with “O’J…” in it.)

      O’Joyce?

    ,b>robertnowall: O’Johnson (hmmm, trying to remember if Irish names start with a ‘J’…)

      O’Johnson is tautological; it’d just be O’John, And in Irish it’d be O’Sean, so it doesn’t start with a J any more. (The letter “J” doesn’t really exist in Gaelic languages, I was actually quite surprised when I Googled “O’Joyce” on a whim and got some results; “Joyce” is actually of Anglo-French origin, but the Joyces have evidently been in Ireland long enough for some of them to adopt the naming conventions.)

        That was the problem: there are no authentic Irish O-apostrophe names beginning with J…

    Careful with those anti-robot slurs, Sweetheart. You don’t want to be sent for Sensitivity Training again.

      I always did wonder how she’s so racist (specieist? but robots aren’t species) despite her line of work…

    I saw the highlight where the files where, and for some reason I heard the Metal Gear exclamation point sound effect.

    I think people are missing the point of the former water cooler’s logic. She is acting in service as requested, IN ORDER OF THE REQUESTS…
    So, if Sweetheart asks her for the files back, she will go and retrieve them from the Department of Irradiation. Then, when the Department of Irradiation asks where the files went, and for her to bring them back, she will take them from Sweetheart.
    It makes both good robotics logic and good comedy.

    Sweetheart is kind of a bitch sometimes. Well, all the time, technically.

    Of course a Shaenon Garrity comic will have me thinking “I want to fuck the water cooler”
