The Creator Of The Puffle

But I live in a Dilbert cartoon?

Well .. more 'than once I realized the terrible parallels ... went to see the site the Dilbert cartoon of March 21, 2007 (until it is available). The strip covers the idea of "genius" to increase productivity to prevent the use of e-mail on Friday. Pointy haired boss

: In order to boost productivity, the company has Decided That employees can not use e-mail on frydays
Alice: What if my Highest Priorities require e-mail? Should I waste my day doing worthless stuff? Pointy haired
boss: Geez. Somehow you made a great idea ridicolous look.
Alice Yeah, that's all me.

compare with a real case:
[to a customer a few years ago]

Client: now consultants will not be 'more' allowed access to the Internet. We do not have enough bandwidth for everyone in the company.
Consultant: ...

[2 days later]
Client: but how, in the release of today do not you put that new development.
Consultant: as a new development? we agreed the changes to the meeting the day before yesterday ..
Client: you, but then there was that urgent changes ... I sent you an email ..
Consultant: [look at half mast] on my corporate email?
Client: you ... um ... uhm ... maybe we need a moment to review the policy for Internet access ..
[premise: no, there had provided users on their mail system]
