If I had been in Dilbert's place, I would have gotten up and left the room, gently closing the door behind me. Then I would have left the building for the day with a small smile on my face. If I had been asked why I was leaving, I would have said that I had been requested to leave and was complying with the request.....nothing like getting a jump on rush hour traffic...
I remember in High School a news student that joined the electronics program, that was cooler than I remember 2 incidents in High School when a new student that joined the electronics program, that was cooler than me, and had Cooler Computer software. Cooler all around. Another was in the ROTC program great artist. They didn’t last long, I always wondered what happened to them.
They do make things interesting though.
I wonder how cool it is to pull the project / boss out of the fire, on a consistent basis.
