Bar Buddy

“I just had the crappiest week. More than half the team was laid off and now I’m working 16 hour days, for however long that lasts,” sneered Kevin to his newest bar buddy.

“Oh?” mused Spencer, taking a sip of beer. “Sorry to hear, man.”

“My back is killing me, and we don’t have good health insurance.”

“Have you thought about finding another job?”

“In this market? Impossible,” grumbled Kevin.

“Geez, where do you work?” asked Spencer. “I’ll remember never to interview there.”

“Larsen Industries, the greedy bastards.”

Feeling sore, CEO Spencer Larsen cupped his beer, his only true buddy.
