life in a U.S. corporation
Apr. 19th, 2010 03:45 am( amusing (???) story for today, as narrated by Scott Adams )
In summary, all of Scott Adams's tips about surviving work in corporations have to do with basically avoiding it as much as possible. Before he started publishing Dilbert, I wonder what he must have been like as a co-worker. I have a hunch that he was the understated, sensible-seeming type who people knew not to cross because they secretly suspected him of hiding either a) knives or b) top secret information sought by multiple intelligence agencies under his drawer.
This also brings me to my next point, which is that I really want to give whoever thought of The Office* a big fat kiss on the cheek and a cookie.
Well, maybe not the kiss. But definitely a cookie! It takes talent to turn the most mundane drivel into a funny, character-driven satire that manages to be as true as it is absurd. Watching the deleted scenes for s5 on Youtube today pretty much rekindled my love for it, and reminded me that I haven't seen any new episodes in a while.
It also reminded me that some people are just obnoxious, because one of the outtake vids posted up there tries to rickroll everyone. Yeah.
I think this post was supposed to have more of a point (like linking to some of my favorite moments from The Office, for example) or reveal some insight of scintillating brilliance. But sleepiness prevails yet again, so if anything, that's going to have to wait until tomorrow.
*Yes, I know it's Ricky Gervais.
