Dilbert

(This was written on my kindle, so please excuse any spelling errors) Dilbert is the name and main character of one of my favorite comic strips. Dilbert is an 'underling' of the PHB, or ppointy haired boss in a large corporate company. He works on fail-filled projects with his coworkers, Wally and Alice. Wally is a decided and experienced work-avoider, having turned it into something of an art form. Alice is a highly trained and talented engineer (Dilbert & co.'s profession) who is constantly being under-appreciated and antagonized by the PHB. And then there's Dilbert's faithful dog Dogbert, whose metaphors and mightier-than-thou spiel add crazieness to Dilbert's personal life. There's Catbert, the evil director of human resources, who strives to create a horrible environment for all employees. Finally, there's Ratbert. The rat in Dilbert's house who won't go away and just wants to be a part of the family. I think that covers everything. BOCTAOE. (Any true Scott Adams fan will know that term. BOCTAOE. Occam's razor. Goodbye.)
