Original Commentary

The triumphant return of Richard and Sinclair! Well, technically they were never gone, but anyway, the singing memo-gram is of course a nod back to their old jobs over at the Minerva theatre. Or the two of them are really bored of their jobs and feel a need to expand their performance resumes. I highly doubt Miz Taylor would object to the brothers singing the memos out, of course I'm sure she would object to paying them to do so. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
As we probably made explicit later on, Brisbane was rewriting Ms. Tayor's memos for clarity, friendliness, and consistency. Ms. Taylor sent out everything in the drafts folder, which includes several works-in-progress and a few notes that he was just saving there.

It's a good thing he didn't keep his banking passwords or anything in there...- Terrence

Original Commentary

Back to the main action. I hadn't wanted to give exact days of the week, but I found I had to, to make things more understandable. Brisbane was, of course, sick on Tuesday - Terrence

Modern Commentary
The only thing worse than unfiltered Ms. Taylor is garbled, partially-filtered Ms. Taylor.

There was a half-written comic after this where Brisbane points out that he was out sick, she was the one who sent them out, and none of this was his fault. There was a good line, "Brisbane, it is my job to run the company. It's your job to get me coffee."

But I don't see Brisbane pushing back at an angry, petulant boss. At least not at the beginning of this... - Terrence

Original Commentary

Why was it late? I tried to write out the conversation between Ms Taylor and Brisbane. Brisbane states that it's not his fault that Ms Taylor chose to send the memos out. Ms. Taylor told Brisbane that editing her isn't his job. Both would be correct, but I think that the current comic shows everything that one would be able to show. We haven't gotten to the interesting part yet, and I don't want to be too slow - Terrence

Modern Commentary
If this is Ms. Taylor being more impulsive than usual, I kinda wish we had seen a bit more of a baseline beforehand so we had a bit of a better idea how much change this was. - Terrence
