Eleanor Roosevelt said “Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be.” But wow, if things end badly, does that mean I’m a failure?
It turns out that rumors — or, more precisely, those rumors that continue to be passed along office grapevines — tend to be substantially true.

But for most Ugandans, word of doomsday cults brings bitter memories of the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments, which burnt hundreds of members alive in a church in Kanungu, near the Congolese border, in March 2000. Police believe leaders systematically killed hundreds more followers after their judgment day forecast failed to happen, and corpses were found in mass graves across the country.

I had one yesterday… No problem for the donkey but always pending issues for the factory!
All men behind donkeys are stupid!
have a nice day!
it’s strange how cult leaders lust for ‘the end’ to come, and when it doesn’t come they kill everybody…. this must be a special category of mental illness, and it must be related to charisma, or charm, i always call people with charisma ‘charm zombies’ because it’s like they know nothing else but their own power to eat other people’s brains haha….
yes now i’ve let the term out on the net, lol soon it will no longer be mine! really? you’re so lucky to have charm, i don’t have one poot of it, what i had was ‘mystery’ but now it just looks like i am a bad conversationalist lol which i am… people with charm do get thru life easier, ALOT easier
Sigh. I’m sure I’ve been on both ends of this at some point in my life, Seraphine. I wonder how much more work we’d get done if rumors didn’t exist!
Everything will be alright in the end, if things aren’t alright, then it’s not the end
But YOU can NEVER be a failure Sera, so why worry:)
Great image and also another great composition
I hate workplace rumors and i work with 600 ladies 
Is so hard to ignore them when u hear this rumors! Beautiful work and great idea !
so that’s why i’m totally immature?
coz i’m creative? i like that. i don’t seem to be getting older in my mind, but younger, i figure i’m about 5 years old right now lol
Very easy for Eleanor Roosevelt to say I would imagine. I don’t know her background but I would suspect it was one of privilege, good health and education, very useful tools in life manufacture I would say. A little more humility in the face of the accidents of birth, where when and to who, would not go amiss I think
Rumour has it…that if at first you don’t succeed and you try again and yet again and you still don’t succeed, you are a loser…
Inspirational quotations and rumours – the bane(s) of existence.
i hate office politics. if i go to hell you know the reason.
I know this feeling…My best luck!
Never listen to rumour…you’re so pretty, and that’s a fact!
Someone once said – If you want to ride in a boat it’s best to be close to a river.
That would depend on the definition of term “badly.” As long as things come to an end I don’t think it is a failure. Failure is when things don’t even reach its end. And even if they don’t you need to try to bring them to end. You just need to try more. Simple mathematics… I guess.
Rumors are like farts: They stink and no one will take credit for their origin.
This comic is so cute!
I hope everything will be fine for you. Rumors don’t mean anything, people tend to overreact most of the time. I’m sure you are a great employee!
that sky in the water was a picture on a picture, ssshhhhhh, the water was nice and black in the original picture, yes it’s a good thing i wasn’t john the baptist living in the desert on locusts, i would have starved to death before ever baptizing Jesus!
I know the feeling…but you my dear will rise above it all.
The graphic is amazing, but then, it always is.
NO lololol Jesus was baptized by John the BAPTIST lolol you are very silly tonight, yes? lol i like silly
No more rumours it’s friday… last working day of the week for the donkey!
don’t worry , i’m sure it’s for a pay rise
yes yes french are optimistic in any way
Good luck Sera
Bisous bisous
Seems in any big workplace rumours spread liek wildfire without any substance in so many cases, Cool comic work
I heard around the office that you had a good posting today! They were right!
I remember working at a place where if you started a rumour it seemed to become true.
I have always found it to be a good idea to be prepared for any scenario before a meeting. Overall, I have also never payed much attention to rumors and have stayed away from them. That said, Sera, wish you good news!!!!
Lots of people staying away from rumors yet they still somehow get started and flow. Personally i may not like rumors and never have wanted to start one but i will listen to them mainly as a gauge of who not to talk to or be friendly with. The more you gossip and spread rumors the more i stay away from you and not believe what you say. No sense sticking my head in the ground when i can glean info from your useless endeavors.
So how did it go???
I’ve got a lot of rumors to worry about too, but I think in my case it’s more than just rumors. Oh well.
Good luck to you!
Missed commenting on the picture Sera…nice shot! I like the emotion!
If you have done your best, you are never a failure. Random things happen in life and they can lay waste the our best efforts.
