Thriving on Vague Objectives
Thriving on Vague Objectives: A Dilbert Collection | Scott Adams
2 posts
"I think that idiot bosses are timeless, and as long as there are annoying people in the world, I won't run out of material."Scott Adams Dilbert and the gang are back for this 26th collection, Thriving on Vague Objectives. Adams has his finger on the pulse of cubicle dwellers across the globe. No one delivers more laughs or captures the reality of the 9 to 5 worker better than Dilbert, Dogbert, Catbert, and a cast of stupefying office stereotypeswhich is why there are millions of fans of the Dilbert comic strip. Dilbert is a techno-man stuck in a dead-end job (sound familiar?). Power-mad Dogbert strives to take over the world and enslave the humans. The most intelligent person in Dilbert's world is his trash collector, who knows everything about everything. Artist and creator Scott Adams started Dilbert as a doodle when he worked as a bank teller. He continued doodling when he was upgraded to a cubicle for a major telecommunications company. His boss (no telling if he was pointy-haired or not) suggested the name Dilbert. Adams is so dead-on accurate in his depictions of office life that he has been accused of spying on Corporate America.

This isn't the least bit helpful, but years ago, I saw a book that I was slightly curious about. I don't know the title or the author's name. It was about different words that people from different parts of the United States use, based on their region of the country. For example, some people call it soda, while others call it pop. Some places have heroes while others have hoagies. Can anyone recommend any titles to me that fit this description?

keithmalek @MrBook That wasn't it, but that's perfect! Thank you! 5y
MrBook Darn. Well, hopefully it gets the job done, lol. 5y

I'm going for vague aims rather than an #apriltbr this month.

Reading-books-I-own hasn't been happening, so it's time to build that into my routine. The currently-reading heap is out-of-hand for random reasons - a library book is so fusty it's almost unreadable, an ebook is stuck behind technical problems - so definitely time to sort that lot out. And Sagas is awful heavy if you fall asleep under it... #ro17

Donna_sBookMinute 🤔Not a bad idea. Actually a very good 😊 idea 💡 And this is a very beautiful and tranquil graphic. 7y
rockpools @Donna_sBookMinute 😊Thank you. I love making lists, but I'm exceptionally good at ignoring them, so trying something else this month! 7y
