I imagine the greater risk is that Martin wouldn't be able to find work elsewhere. If ever he needs to move, or is made redundant due to cuts, or someone joins the workforce and makes his life hell, he won't have much opportunity to find the same job else where.

I've tried spreadsheets before, they're not for me. Too much overhead. Mostly I keep getting sidetracked fiddling around with formulas that the whole thing ends up burning too much time for not enough output.

But that's just me.

I use a spreadsheet to keep track of my finances but it's nothing too fancy, more of a computerized checkbook-balancer than anything else.

Do you think that Jeph didn't remember how it went? And he got reminded in the comments and had to retcon that conversation?

Seems to be the implication. ("metacommentary" is his own comment under the comic, in case you didn't see it)

I mean that's not quite the case either SMIF normally doesn't hire non students but Tai gave Marteen a shot because there had been "problems".

Given mention of problems it seems like the position was freed because the students that had previously caused some, and she, knowing full well what a chaotic mess the student body is, tried hiring from outside. That's still not an insider hire for Marten, just that he got lucky with the situation.

if you aren't doing everything with cash just use mint for budgeting

Peppermint? Spearmint? Mint chocolate chip?

But seriously though, is that some kind of software?

yeah that mint. I've been using it for years, and besides the equifax debacle (which everyone got effed by, but at least I knew exactly how my info passed into their system unlike most others), it's been good.

Weirdly, there's actually a good in-comic reason for Marten to not remember the exact details of getting employed; that was also the day he ended up fighting Buddhist monks.

That was an eventful day.

Marten actually knew in advance about the problematic students: One of them gave him the referral.

Woah, weird seeing Martin and Tai be at the centre of a story arc again. Not un welcome.

Nice to see the comic is still exploring Martin's lathargy in a new way that doesn't diminish the progress he's made. I could buy that he's a lot better with being active in his relationships now, but not in life management.

Text below is probably NSFW, but contains no explicit anecdotes. I also considered linking to a product page, but that's pretty definitely against the rules.

Doc Johnson's American Bombshell line includes an anal plug that starts at a "modest" 4.5" circumference (1.4" diameter) and steps up to 13.5" (4.3" diameter), and either that's a very large hand holding it in the picture I'm looking at or the one I saw in the store that laid me off that I couldn't say anything to but "Gott im Himmel!" was even larger than that, because I'm sure the one in the image seared in my brain was almost six inches across at the widest. I don't doubt that there are people who will attempt to work up to that, but considering the anatomy involved I very much doubt that people can actually achieve it without a lot of blood.

To be fair, disregarding the rear end for a bit, the female anatomy is designed to have an entire baby pass through it at some point.
