The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 06, 2023

Unfortunely the only one you know is Rancid Veeblefester.

He must be dreaming, because he’s as tall as Gladys

It’s just the way you were born, Brutus.

Cold hard truth

Versus what you know, which is nothing.

Ain’t that the truth.

If it is who you know then I know all of the wrong people.

If you know Lord Jesus – You know the MAN. I can put a good word in for you. Morning noon and night, Daniel prayed. Love that Song.

Who you know works best when, what you know about ‘who’ is best kept a secret.

Sadly Brutus, that’s correct, at least until the stuff hits the fan and then you’re in trouble for knowing something, telling the bosses and still get into a mess because they wouldn’t listen.

I’ve always tried to be nice to folks but the black cloud just tends to follow me. I hate hearing from people that you’re the first one this has ever happened to. Why can’t it be the biggest lotto that happens?

I prefer it that way. Someone I know is out there on Linkedin and other such sites, he ended up getting hacked because of who he knows. I have a feeling Brutus would back me up on this, but I am perfectly happy flying under the radar.

not true, you know plenty of people that matter to you. :J

Same in any business. Only the owner’s family, his/her friends and relatives, golf buddies, etc. get promoted. Those who actually do all the work are they retire. THEN the company realizes who kept the business running.

Because opinions matter more than facts.

I disagree my good friend. The talented individual who demonstrates those talents in the work environment and is a strong asset to his employer will most usually be rewarded for his hard work, not only with recognition, but in a more substantial way with higher pay. That being said, having a good relationship with the Boss and supervisor can usually never hurt in being advanced in your career as when you are doing good, they are doing good. The major exception is when you really are making your immediate boss look good and they are taking the credit for your good labor and efforts to their boss and you can’t get the recognition you deserve. Then it’s time to find a new job…..

Well, you gotta give him credit for knowing the facts life……….atta boy, Brutus!

Poor Brutus.

Brutus knows Bossman and Gladys. Whose to know?

Poor Brutus. Reality is not a good residence for a born loser

And Gladys replies “well Brutus, that’s two for two”…

It depends on what the “what” is that you know. There’s a lot of skeletons out there.

In some cases, it’s not who you know or what you know, it’s what you know about whom. I worked with a guy who had “dirt” on the supervisor and union rep, and used what he knew about them to keep his job, despite getting caught stealing company property and assaulting a co-worker on company time and company property.

We used to say that differently, but decorum prohibits me from saying that here.

A lot of those people you are better off not knowing.

I’m sure the Chief would say you don’t know much, either!

Not just on the job, it’s true in life in general.

Let’s not hurt Uncle Ted’s feelings, Brutus!

Brutus, I am in that the boat.

Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth agrees it is not what you know so by all means your should know Jesus Merry CHRISTmas

Not knowing anyone is his problem, I guess.
