Jay at work

[J.Rai]

I'm thinkin about doing a series (not neccesarily a strip series, they could be spread out) of shit from work, you guys can feel free to do some for yours too (Yes Threeboy, even you)

TrueNuff:
[Jay at work - sitting at desk]
<p>Idiot: My Outlook is broken!
Jay: Well what's the problem, does it connect?
<p>Idiot: I don't know - it just doesn't work!
Jay: Well does it have your password?
<p> Idiot: [walking away] Geez, you guys can't fix anything!
<p> Jay: *click* Well it's going to be REALLY hard to fix now that your email just went offline
*click*
Dang, looks like your network connection is dead, too.

TrueNuff:
[Jay walking past woman's desk]
<p>Woman: Oh, Jay, do you think you could help me? My computer's going really slow.
Jay: Sure
<p>Jay: [now leaning over desk] What's this - Morpheus? Kazaa? Gator? MSN? ICQ? Are you running all of these while you work?
<p> Woman: [Looking at Jay] Oh, isn't that neat? Barbara showed me that.
Jay: Well you can't leave all of these running.
<p> Woman: Oh? Why not?
Jay: Because I said so. *beep*

I know it's not much of an ending, but I'm looking to show how stupid people are, feel free to fix or nix that one

More to come.

[Threeboy]

awesome.

I had some strips kicking in my head about the crew @ work. I gotta get them down on digital paper.

[J.Rai]

Opener:

TrueNuff: the hangin' comic
[Jay's living room - guys lounging, Jay standing]
<p>[Jay's shirt is buttoned up, and tucked in]
Jay: OK guys, well I'm off to work
Trey: You work?
<p> Jay: How do you think I pay my bills?
Trey: I dunno, rich parents?
Brando: Organized crime?
Rob: Selling yourself on the streets?
<p>[Guys not looking, just watching TV, Jay staring at them]
<p>Jay: THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO LEAVE NOW
[guys getting up]
Rob: Awww...
Brando: OK, geez...

TrueNuff: Star-crossed haters
<p> [guys putting on jackets, leaving Jay's apartment]
Trey: So where do you work?
Jay: At our school - I'm a systems tech.
<p> [outside apartment door, Jay locking door]
Rob: Wait, they need systems techs at a computer university?
Jay: Yup
<p> [walking down hallway, jackets on]
Trey: I would've thought that anyone who teaches technology could fix their own computers...
<p> [leaving building/outside]
Jay: Well so would I, but here we are, and I need work.

[J.Rai]

Oh yes, and the "Idiot" in the fixit strip should have curly light brown hair and have glasses.

Personal reasons.

[Threeboy]

this is shaping up good ;)

[J.Rai]

Shit I forgot about this one. Hmm, I'm gonna try to add to it, but if not it'll go up soon.

[J.Rai]

First ones inserted into latest donescripts - I gotta add to this if it'll ever go anywheres

[Threeboy]

*COMMENT REMOVED*

[J.Rai]

I figures that would probably happen actually

[Threeboy]

heh. we could always hop back to it in the future?

[Brando]

I like these. Work strips are cool. And I also think that we can start dropping them in whereever we like. Even like the Rob series can be broken up with others if we want...

We decide.

[Threeboy]

yes.

this isn't an open source comic :P

[J.Rai]

TrueNuff: In it for the money
[Jay, Trey, Rob, Brando @ school, front doors with a sign partly off frame, revealing only the word “University”]
<p> [Going through front doors]
Trey: So how is it working at the school?
Jay: The work is alright but the convenience really pays off during exams.
<p> [Inside, Jay walking off frame, guys standing]
JAY: Anyways, I’ll see ya.
ROB: Laters.
TREY: [looking at the guys, away from Jay so it’s clear he’s not talking to Jay] Wait…
<p> TREY: Why are we at the school?
Rob: Well, actually, I do have homework to do…
Brando: Yeah actually I got a midterm I should prepare for.
<p> [Brando and Rob leaving the panel]
TREY: SELLOUTS!

TrueNuff: Clip it
[Jay at work - sitting at desk]
<p>Idiot: My Outlook is broken!
Jay: Well what's the problem, does it connect?
<p>Idiot: I don't know - it just doesn't work!
Jay: Well does it have your password?
<p> Idiot: [walking away] Geez, you guys can't fix anything!
<p> Jay: *click* Well it's going to be REALLY hard to fix now that your email just went offline
*click*
Dang, looks like your network connection is dead, too.

[Note, “Idiot” has a light brown mini-fro or curly hair, and round glasses]

<p>Woman: Oh, Jay, do you think you could help me? My computer's going really slow.
Jay: Sure
<p>Jay: [now leaning over desk] What's this - Morpheus? Kazaa? Gator? MSN? ICQ? Are you running all of these while you work?
<p> Woman: [Looking at Jay] Oh, isn't that neat? Barbara showed me that.
Jay: Well you can't leave all of these running.
<p> Woman: [Looking back at Monitor] Oh? Why not?
Jay: Because I said so. *beep*

[Threeboy]

Clip it - could be clearer... i got that jay then purposely fudges up his computer, but i think it's confusign still

[J.Rai]

This will lead into "The Rob fails his test"

[Threeboy]

This will lead into "The Rob fails his test"nice! are those school ones merged together into a series?

[J.Rai]

It's coming. I'm tweening now

[J.Rai]

TrueNuff: Clip it
[Jay at work - sitting at desk]
<p>Idiot: My Outlook is broken!
Jay: Well what's the problem, does it connect?
<p>Idiot: I don't know - it just doesn't work!
Jay: Well does it have your password?
<p> Idiot: [walking away] Geez, you guys can't fix anything!
<p> Jay: *click* Well it's going to be REALLY hard to fix now that your email just went offline
*click*
[Double Bubble, staggered with *clicks*]
Aww, looks like your network connection is dead, too.
[Triple bubble]Pity.

[Threeboy]

perhaps somethjing more complex than "Jay: Well does it have your password? "

Jay: Did you make sure outgoing authentication was enabled?

[J.Rai]

But the prolem is SO simple. That's the point.

[Threeboy]

note: jay can look evil in last panel too, to cement it in.

"Well does it have your password" doesn't sound right though..

perhaps: "Well does it have your password saved"

as an alternate punchline perhaps in the last panel "No wonder his password didn't work, his capslock was on"

or not.

[J.Rai]

Maybe "Did you double-check your password?"

[Threeboy]

Maybe "Did you double-check your password?"yeah that!
