Original Commentary
...and now I'm writing again. Honestly, I'm really surprised I'm writing YSIF again after all this time. Terrence and I played with a few ideas for what to do next. The original idea was something light hearted featuring some neglected characters (Lola and the Lounge Guys were thrown into the ring... perhaps they will show up again soon), but then I remembered Thanksgiving was coming up, and so I started writing.

This comic also ties up a little plot point that I really wanted finished: I wanted to see those lazy managers punished- a yelling from Miz Taylor wasn't nearly enough. I wanted blood... I wanted people fired. Terrence compromised with me... no one injured... but with unpaid administrative leave. I do have to wonder how many of them will have a job waiting for them when they get back to work. -Isabel

Well, some of them resigned. Some of them had enough vacation days saved up and just went back to work. The ones that didn't were given an extra week off. Some of them tried to take that next Monday off. It wasn't pretty. But we didn't have a good place to mention the various complexities - Terrence

Modern Commentary
If we were going more into the business side of things, I'd say that the more popular managers got told that Ms. Taylor was back, as did the ones who helped Brisbane and Kimberly.

The ones who didn't help out, and had underlings who were vengeful and/or ambitious, well, they maybe didn't find out the easy way - Terrence
