I'm not supposed to be done this early, but god damn if I stay around after I finish my trial run report. Had another Dilbert moment where I was reprimanded yesterday for not "taking charge" of today's trial run of a product I developed....

I guess a raw material wasn't ready or something. I was too busy fixing issues on our production line to notice/care that the base fabric wasn't ready. So my boss took care of it. Today I come in, and he sends out emails and phone calls before we start, demanding that we change everything about the plan I had. Everytime I argued to go back to how *I* planned it and organized it, I am shot down. So I retired to my lab, and did the material testing as requested instead of helping to run the trial. Turns out it all went to hell.......Like I told him it would. And I got reprimanded again for not "taking charge". I also couldn't keep a straight face and laughed pretty hard when my boss came in steaming about how it was going so wrong. Probably didn't help my case, but worth it to remind him that my idea was probably right while his was definitely wrong.

Life lesson for all you young oppos on here in today's Dilbert too. THIS. IS. YOUR. FUTURE.

I've been reading the now almost-20-year-old The Dilbert Principle and just finished it. So much crushing accuracy in that book.

Also, this is one of my favorites.

I have this one on the back of my door with a bunch of other ones that relate to my boss. He hasn't found them yet in the 2 years I've been here.

One of my co-workers modified this strip to suit our occupation. I think it's brilliant. I just removed the company name that he added. You never know how sensitive they might be.

I'll admit I very rarely found Dilbert funny in school or even in college. Then, I graduated and joined corporate America...

One of us. One of us. One of us. One of us. One of us.

Synergy. Teamwork. New IPs. The Cloud.

The fucking cloud. This quote will haunt me for life. I present to you an excerpt from a marketing meeting, in which the IT team I was a part of was present for. "Well, if I could suggest, in a planning group I volunteer for we took all of our data, right off of our computers, and put it in the cloud" "Yeah, the cloud! I think we really need to do some more research on that. Especially considering that the marketing team is making a push to move to iPads"

This feels like every single one of my year end reviews.

.......I totally forgot mine is coming up soon.

Oh well, not like I'll get a raise. Every time I get a really stupid email or request I apply to another job more and more seriously. At first I just sent out a resume, no letter. Now I'm writing my letters on company time (only on my bosses' though. No one else is *that* incompetent to deserve me wasting their time like my boss wastes mine)
