More real-life Dilbert

darren on November 20th, 2006

Coming not even two weeks after the last Dilbertization, I ran across another one today.

We now have an acronym for a project that is “WTF”. Not done on purpose…no joke.

Dalasta in Urban Dictionary

darren on November 15th, 2006

I swear I didn’t do this, but I wish I did

Doller Store Dalasta

Dollar store. Place where rush-to-the-bottom, built-to-blow products are sold. Contains toys made for children, by children. Cost equals about a month’s wages to the poor bastards who made it.

My dalasta ‘phone sounds like the subway P.A.! Did you buy these rubbers at the dallasta’? This dalasta’ super-glue is actually slippery!

Noisy white noise

Straight out of Dilbert.

We have this white-noise system that is supposed to eliminate or reduce background sounds. Right now there is an HR congregation around my desk debating on how much to reduce the noise coming from the extremely loud white-noise system.

It seriously sounds like my hard-of-hearing grandmother fell asleep while watching TV and the station went off the air.

not totally unlike this guy

Who are they?

Why do they not have a website?

Am I the lead singer?

How do you make that cool “o”

That is not me buying “rugged kross” on Google, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never cleaned up after myself (?) like this comment claims.

Added: ok, found it. Hi Jack.

Why Live.com makes me scratch my head

darren on October 12th, 2006

No, not because of their questionable result sets.

You know how the “v” and “c” keys are so close to each other?

One of my somewhat common typos is hitting “c” instead of “v”

When you’re looking for live.com, that can be a problem. It always makes me uncomfortably itchy after the page loads.
