Woh! What is this thing?!
This is a social bar from the Dilbert team and our friends at Meebo. It is a cool little feature we've added to Dilbert to make sharing comic strips, Mashups and other content, a simple click of the mouse from any page.
Try it out – use the buttons to instantly send the next funny comic you read to your Facebook status or your Twitter feed. We’re adding even more ways to share soon, so check this space often!
@ Medea - I have to admit, I still double space after a period; although some programs will auto correct that. As for pointing out her mistake, you've got to pick your battles more carefully. No sense in winning a battle if it could cost you the war; or your sanity, as the case may be. As for the secretary book, at least you'll get flowers once a year.
@usessimpletools: almost word for word. My PHB was given a stack of mail merged tax form letters to sign (the only thing that changed was the address in each). She insisted on reading each one to check for grammar, spelling, and syntax. I'm pretty sure it was in retaliation for not double spacing after the period in my sentences on a rough draft version on the previous day. I had foolishly responded by showing her the APA website where it stated that modern correspondence didn't actually need that anymore. I figured out my punishment soon enough though when she thoughtfully got me a copy of a secretary's handbook published in the 60's in order help me learn to write proper business letters in future. Yes, it actually said 'secretary' on the cover of this book. No, I am not any form of secretary (though I'd be hard pressed to prove it). I am a 25 year old bookkeeper. I'm almost positive.
@ Medea - Why would you give someone a stack of photocopies to read? Wouldn't it make more sense to give your PHB one copy to read, edit, change, correct, whatever before running off a couple of dozen copies that might need changes? Or did your boss just take it upon herself to make sure every single photocopy was done correctly? In which case, I weep for you sir, ma'am.
Sadly, I think I've used Wally's line just recently. Almost word for word. For exactly the same reason that she was proven wrong about something else. Even sadder, these strips seem more documentary than satire even to this day.
