This is possibly the least funny person on the internet.
SwedishRationalist
But smoking weed in the dark is so enjoyable... o-o
BarteNERDS
Adam gets hated on by a LOOOTTTT of people, but this one was fuckin' great. Glad he left Buzzfeed if he gets more time to draw now.
nephthystraugott
This is how I, too, imagine George Lucas spending his time now that he's sold off Star Wars.
Snooj
I feel like this after more than two days of telecommuting.
ThatoneQuebecguywhothinkshesCanadian
Alright Luke, you do you.
damnitdan
Or you (Adam Ellis) could try to get popular by telling a ghost story.
DoubleSunMoonMoon
He didnt need that to get popular, friendo
KanedaWhatDoYouSee
Hissssss
Kobolite
i'm not a fan of the style of these comics
jetflight
Being part of an online lynch mob and the pinnacle of bad journalism is not a job.
ramdomInk
Yeah, me. It's been 14 years...
myfatcathaslotsofhats
Wait are people posting Adam Ellis unironically now
ramdomInk
Hisssssssss!
Munchman347
Or Retired, Ahhhhhhh...
shootan
Reminder that he tried to say his place was haunted

"Dear David" no way it's real, but it's a creepy story nonetheless. I enjoyed reading it https://storify.com/moby_dickhead/dear-david

Who smokes weed out of a tobacco pipe?
SwedishRationalist
As long as nobody has ever smoked tobacco in it, and you put a screen in there, it's fine.
HalfManHalfGin
And don't sell it back on as a tobacco pipe. As a pipe smoker (tobacco) - you can't remove the weed ghost. Once it's weed, it's weed.
IvnWng
The same people that eat pizzas with a fork and a knife.
AnotherHunter
They probably hang toilet paper backwards too
DrDresDog
dude try it
AnotherHunter
I mean I have, but.... giant bowl that’s meant to keep a cherry alive + no carb = lots of wasted goodness! Wouldn’t do it on the reg.
3lr4y
When I quit I like to take a couple days to be an absolute peice of shit.
Gonestarfishing
Same. You almost have to. Especially if the previous job was especially stupid.
Snickasaurus
This looks like an elder Elliott Morgan
IvnWng
Wow, this is the most effort I’ve seen put into an Adam Ellis comic strip. Every panel is different and there’s no copy+paste faces. Bravo!
Dirtsailor2010
This is me.... the first day after getting out of the Navy
WoefulWombat
Does this mean he stopped working for Buzzfeed?
ThisGuyHere
You can find your answer in this unnecessarily long article "7 popular webcomic artists that worked here only up until recently."
asquishypanda
“Number 5 will shock you!”
Retul
Yes. He posted about it on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BeENtQqh870/
AJanglur
He even put a pun in that. Right "track" in the subway. Nice.
TresusIbor
You have to wonder why you'd work there in the first place. Desperation and no immediate alternatives?
TresusIbor
I was just asking a question about the psychology of settling for such a place. Not sure why people got so much sand in their vagina.
steviedrawsdinos
It seems like a good place for artists until you realize it isn't..
morphire
A job's a job, and it's not like Buzzfeed is an evil corporation.

morphire
I mean, sure, but that's being an illustrator for you - not everyone can get dream jobs with unlimited freedom.
carbzilla
He quit but tons of others were let go. Think that was at buzzfeed uk though. Search “last day at buzzfeed” on twitter!
benayises
Maybe he'll stop lying to people about ghosts in his house then.
buttshredder
Didn't this dude just get called out for making a stupid ass ghost hoax?
Surely
Yeah, there is a Cpt. Disillusion episode about this too. He claimed everything was "100% real" when he clearly faked it.
IamTheNesT
Hssssss!
chad57
He'd have to put a up a better effort from now on and ditch that lazy attitude of using copy-paste too much on his comics.
xenwall
That's why he left Buzzfeed. The required output and short deadlines meant he was softballing his work.
UggItsThatKid24
On the other end of the spectrum this is how I feel working my 3rd stright week of 12s with no days off.
Crimpwithyourthumb
But that pay check is probably balling.
Lennoue
Please watch out for potential burnouts... unless you're already in one. That can't be good for you.
UggItsThatKid24
5 years in this field has seasoned me lol. You are absolutely right though it can be dangerous to work that much. The concern is appreciated
SashaTheKitty
Fuck me that's brutal
bloodtippedrose
I took a $200/paycheck cut to go from 12s to 8s and it was so worth it. You literally are buying your life back
thisistheinternetimheretotellliesandarguewithstrangers
You work in a Chinese sweatshop?
UggItsThatKid24
No Industrial Cleaning and Maintenance
PufflesTheHorse
But that paycheck after them 12's...
UggItsThatKid24
Both of you are correct. Plus can't spend much money if I'm at work!!!
KristusApollo
Unless one is salaried...
AluminumMuffin
That's why you negotiate overtime pay after a certain amount of time. Like 50 hours
ToastDNA
40 hours
AluminumMuffin
I meant negotiate if you are on salary to have overtime. Then again getting put on hourly at that workload is smarter than what I said
heresyinspector
All those taxes taken out from all those 12's.
shuttlecockinakumquat
Ugh. Once worked 22 long shifts in a row, then another 20 after 1 day off. Manager yelling at me and being a dick the whole time.
shuttlecockinakumquat
"Poor attitude with customers? Couldn't be because you threaten to fire me every day and force me to work or be fired for an entire month!"
ShannonTheSnakeLady
Dude, I know those feels. Let me know if you need to talk it out.
UggItsThatKid24
I'm use to it but thank you kindly.
egbertmoxie
How is that legal? Or are you in a bad enoug situation where you need to do that to survive. Either way I'm sorry.
UggItsThatKid24
My situation is good. I just chose to not take my day off. I'm making good money and staying out of trouble lol. Some days suck but 1/2
UggItsThatKid24
Others can actually be fun. I do appreciate the kind words though it means alot thank you 2/2
egbertmoxie
Just make sure you don't burn out, bud. Rest is super important, for recuperating as well as so you enjoy returning to work more!
ilikepotatoesalot
I thought legally you had to die after 13 days
UggItsThatKid24
Uhhhh I'm not sure I legally have to die but I'd like to lol.
DependingOnTheStreet
Today was my first day home after 4 weeks away doing 12hr each day. Sleeping past 6:30am was the best feeling this morning...
UggItsThatKid24
I bet it was my man! I know the feeling and I hope you enjoy your day off.
HappySilverCloud
You need to take a fucking break, man. You’ll kill yourself.
UggItsThatKid24
It's rough on the social life but I can take it. The guys I work with I'm either related to or have know for years. 1/2
UggItsThatKid24
With us being under staffed I can't bail on them but I appreciate the thought and concern my good man 2/2
SmudgyPuma
I thought legally you had to have a day off after 13 days
datfandomdoe
May be a grad student. 'legal' goes out the window
UggItsThatKid24
You don't have to you can choose to keep working and I usually choose to keep working we are short handed. I
ToastDNA
At my job the just tack on 2x or 3 x pay when that happens. Legal, and I get paid more. But it's expensive so never happens.
Kage197
If it'd anything like my company thru just change your hours worked around. That way it still looks legal, but you get paid the same.
SmudgyPuma
Maybe it was just this one company I worked for. My bad y’all I was misinformed
adam1111
Ha, you think laws apply to min-wage employers? There is ALWAYS a workaround.
havacat
In California, I worked 14 days in a row, 11 hours a day, during my 38th and 39th week of pregnancy. Job was a lot of walking. Loved it.
humanhotplate
I'm in the US, and I worked 2 months straight at 1 job, 15 hours a day, I've never heard of this 13 day rule. Maybe certain states have it.
Cookietheclown
Labor laws are typically different state by state. In illinois you are required 1 day off per week, so 12 days in a row is the most
SomeOneHasBeenLookingForYou
Not if you're self employed
Kingpoopdik
Military? Guaranteed 8 hours of sleep and enough time to get 3 meals a day. Everything else is up to leadership. (clearly not normal tempo)
RootEnoch
Not everyone here is from the USA
PenisShapedPoops
What? I swear I did eighteen days in a row last year. Is this only for mandatory stuff? Mine was optional, and a well known company.
UggItsThatKid24
I am from Ohio but that is a good point.
OriginalBirdy
Bruh also from Ohio and also on about the 3rd week of long ass shifts with no days off.
Undramatic
Not even weekends??
UggItsThatKid24
I feel it man. I work in power plants and these old plants don't handle the cold so well.
mooglerae
My job likes to do mandatory Saturdays and then when they have voluntary ones, they are surprised everyone says "no, thanks".
imwhatyouneverwantedtobe
Also from ohio. They dont give a damn whether youre tired or not if theyre understaffed or overstaffed....shit just being staffed at all.
Muttons1337
Wait, that's a thing in this country? Holy shit how'd I not know about this?
spiciestmemelord
Ohio? Yeah that’s a thing
Deadmanwalkn
Probably because most jobs give you at least 1 day per week off, so it's a nonissue for you
Chezoso
Some states don't have labor laws like that. Source: I'm a GM, and have done 15hr days for weeks at a time before
DelumStudios
Wouldnt mind my job to give me the option to work that much sometimes; the paycheck must be glorious.
zamirovski
I am really sorry to hear that.
Chezoso
I think they are referred as "right to work" laws, but really protect the employer more than anything. My only deterrent from firing
Chezoso
Employees is if no just cause the company pays unemployment
Laaub
Pulled something similar this summer. 16 hour days 6 days a week. Sundays "off". Ended up working anyways.
MaxieMooo
How's that legal? What about time to eat, drink, shit, piss, exercise and literally have even 5 minutes of personal time w/ 8 hours sleep...
GlassCannon570
I believe the employer is actively trying to kill the employee.
Laaub
It's legal because I'm salary, but paid hourly past 40 hours a week. It is technically my decision to work those additional hours.
Chezoso
It's worse for other professions http://gawker.com/a-twisted-industry-reality-tv-workers-are-really-fed-1601137605
MerToo
Lol the US "We're so Christian, we'll have at least a day off every two weeks instead of just Sundays"
PinkyToeSlayerOfTableLegs
Try working in a club, they don't care! Also you kinda put it on yourself if you choose to do so.
UggItsThatKid24
Correct. I'm am currently at work lol
PinkyToeSlayerOfTableLegs
Me too! D: weekend warriors unite!
