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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I had a job that was just plugging in new checkout lanes for a grocery store chain and not one of my fellow co-workers could understand the simple, color-coded plugs. The red cable goes in the red hole, the green cable in the green hole, etc.
I'd be finished installing my lanes in like 15-20 minutes and then I'd spend the rest of the time helping the network dudes make cables and setup the network, since I was the only other person on the team with actual IT knowledge and, at that time I was also still CISCO and A+ certified.
Since it was not an hourly position (at least, not for my contracted ass), it didn't make any sense to stall for hours. The faster I get done, the faster I can leave and I get paid the same either eay.
