For those who value a regular dose of cynicism, corporate inquiry and humorous observation of the everyday cube-culture-condition you, like me, probably turn to Dilbert. For those who find the filter of mass media too much to bear - good news - Scott Adams (Dilbert's Creator) has finally blessed us with a direct link into his brain (after some slight filtering so as not to alienate the fan base) through the Dilbert Blog. It gives you the kind of side commentary you require when you're missing that wisecracking cube mate who managed to build up his vacation time so that he can watch all Star Trek movies and spin-off TV shows uninterrupted, over the course of a week.
One particular post of poignancy:
In case you’re wondering, I have no coherent political views of my own. The only thing I know for sure is that I don’t have the information I need to make decisions. That’s the problem with having a degree in economics. Until I ruined my worldview with education, I saw the world in terms of things that worked and things that didn’t. Now when something works well, and the rest of the world is applauding it, I wonder how much better it could have been if we did it the other way. And when a policy turns out to be a huge disaster, I wonder how much worse it would have been if the other side got their way. So let’s all agree that I shouldn’t be voting.
