--- Quote from: derris_kharlan on 27 May 2022, 04:44 ---IMO Bubbles needs to be the one to go for a walk if she feels the need for a break (totally valid). Telling the other person to leave THEIR OWN SHOP (or house, or whatever) just escalates the situation and is unfair.

Pretty cruddy for the person getting a treatment whose body just got messed up. I’d rather have the thorough treatment by Bubbles than the half assed one by Faye… why should the person who will be careful and good at their job be the one to leave?

More cruddy to kick someone out just because YOU are the one in a bad mood. Tell them you need to focus on the task of it needs to be finished now, put off the task til later if possible, ask them politely for some space if you really need it, or suck it up and be angry and deal with that later if the customer is so important. There was no grounds for Bubbles forcing Faye to leave. And Bubbles taking a break doesn’t mean Faye has to finish the job while she’s gone either. Bubbles massively overreacted.

She didn't force her to leave. She suggested it, albeit a bit passive-aggressively, and when she tried to circle back to talking about work, Faye decided to leave on her own. Her subsequent claim that she was "kicked out" is simply untrue.

I'm pretty sure that Bubbles didn't want Faye making things worse.

Thank you very much. For what it's worth, here is the fruit of your labor:
(The two panels were originally in different rows, and are not quite the same height, so I had to jigger things.)
The whole point was to explain how a character without hands might use "air quotes."

--- Quote from: hedgie on 25 May 2022, 19:45 ---I think that it’s Faye’s cavilier/joking attitude about the whole thing (particularly with AIs being a minority that faces serious discrimination). If they were doctors, and the patients human, most people *wouldn’t* like someone joking around like that.

The people I know in healthcare make jokes all the time.
Usually not in earshot of the patients, though.

My mother used to be a floor nurse in a hospital, and apparently they had to hide one doctor's charts when compliance came around because he would write things like "The Vulture Of Death is Perched Upon His Headboard" on them. Apparently he was a very brilliant and skilled doctor though. With the strongest southern rural accent you can imagine.
