Default Dilbert

If I didn't know better, which if I think about it... I don't, I would swear that this place had gotten trapped in a Dilbert dimension.

So

Who is everyone?

I'm here.

It's only 8.00am on a Saturay over here. Most of the troops are probably still tucked up in bed.

It is 1 pm on Friday here and I am working on a web site problem. It is Dilbert like and the more I get into the problem, the more pointy my hair becomes.

Just as long as it doesn't turn into groundhog day like in the movie of the same name.

I mean who is your Dilbert alter ego?

Sparkle = Lena?
Penny = Allice?
Nite = Catbert?

Who would you all be in a Dilbert dimension?

Default re: Dilbert

It is hard to say who I would be. Since it is much more objective views and I am not objective about how i would be viewed.

I know a ratbert. I know several Alices. I know a couple of Wallys. The boses boss, oh, yes.

I worked in telcom and the beginning of Dilbert was definitely telcom. Scott Adams was an engineer for Pac Bell (now SBC) in Dublin California.

Of course many of us would see ourselves as Dilbert. The Samuel Pepys of technology.

Peace

Alice is the only female engineer in Dilbert's department. She's habitually overworked. Her cardiovascular system is basically coffee. She has a quick temper when confronted with the idiocy of her co-workers. She does not handle criticism well.

She destroyed the powercords etc on his computer so it was unusable.

If only my bosses had desktops instead of laptops!

Accidentally tip coffee into the keyboard.
That works wonders for laptops.

If that fails soak the battery in a bucket of water, coffee, yak piss...
