Technically Speaking

Did you see the Dilbert cartoon for May 29, 2007?

The cartoon is no longer available in the Dilbert archive so I’ll describe it to you. The first panel is Dilbert’s bedroom. Dilbert is tying his tie, presumably getting ready for work. The rat is standing on Dilbert’s bed, and says, “Today you will wear clothes you don’t want to wear.” The second frame is a close-up of the rat who continues, “You’ll drive somewhere you don’t want to be, and do things you don’t want to do.” The final panel shows Dilbert and the rat, who finishes: “Have a nice day.”

Can I tell you how lucky I feel to not have a job like that? I am sitting at my desk, wearing a t-shirt and shorts, working for an employer that I genuinely like, with co-workers that I respect and admire, doing a job I really like doing. Some days I can’t believe that I actually get PAID to do this.

If only everybody could love their jobs as much as I love mine…

Edit: 12/18/2007: This post originally linked to the image in the Dilbert archive. The archive is only available for about a month. After a received a comment about the broken link, I reworded the first two sentences of this post and removed the link.
