We have a tie.

Jael and Skagg are each tied at three votes. Because there are no previous votes, I cannot choose the loser based on that factor. Therefore we will have a quick strip-off between the two of you.
[list]
[*]Each of you will submit a strip within 24 ours on the following theme: My first day on the job was not what I expected. This can be entirely fictional or entirely true -- whatever is funnier.
[*]Voters, please start voting as soon as the two strips are posted. You can only vote for Jael or Skagg to be ousted. Jael and Skagg, you do not get to vote in this strip-off, of course.
[*]Jael and Skagg, since one of you will definitely be out, both of you please e-mail a rule for the next round to me at chris@condon.net and we will get the next round started faster.
