Hey, at least there was a human with a pulse there to witness the occurance.

Donna has surprisingly high mechanical dexterity; she did grow up detailing and repairing pre-owned automobiles. And on any given day she's more liable to have more sympathy for a cracked engine block than a fucked up employee

Your business has a serious work culture problem if the employee who gets the best treatment is the damn espresso machine...

I seem to recall that Stilldown has an automatic coffee maker in his comic that is having "morale" problems

send it over to Donna's garage

Oh, I suppose you mean this thing?
It will appear in Cryptida very soon actually!

(Here is a panel of a robot-drone refilling it...)

The next step is negotiation, followed by outright threats, "percussive maintenance", "vivisection" and "eviceration", and finally "putrification".
Of course, preventative maintenance (cleaning, descaling, lubrication, filter changes, o-ring replacement (see what I did there?), and system checks) will help keep it from fucking up.

how much do you wanna bet that Mrs. Schibel hasn't done a damn thing about preventative maintenance?

author insight: the apology isn't from Donna and it isn't to the espresso machine

The last thing her mom said to her?
Her last voicemail/text?

is this foreshadowing motherhood?

Donna can't become a mother, so no.

also: if she had to care for a young child, she'd go from 28 years old to pushing 50 in the space of five years, she would not handle that well at all

Donna may be a hot mess, but I can't help but like her because of moments like this one. I think if she weren't under constant stress she might mellow a bit, but who knows, maybe she thrives on adversity?

Donna's not into her thirties, I think a lot of people mellow as they get older and have a bit more perspective.

I absolutely agree with you, lirvilas, it made a difference for me, and I'm well past my 30's now.

Doing a re-read through and I love the Miles Davis reference, Sir.

Prof, looking around the heinous, degrading debacle that I've made of his characters:
