View From the Bushes

Last night a friend of mine from elementary school (if you can believe that) was in town, so we got together with all of the friends we'd picked up in college. It was nice to be able to make inside jokes that are over a decade old and still get a laugh (in this case, it was a reference to the Bubmi's (get it, Bambi...) mother dying scene from an old episode of Animaniacs). We also had a detailed discussion of the genius that is X-Men and X2 -- overall a pretty geeky night, good times... good times...

I don't think I've mentioned this before, but I have a Dilbert page a day calendar, and in the past when I have a page-a-day calendar if I come across something particularly humorous, I'll hang it outside my cube, but this time I decided, why nickel and dime it, why not post the entire year outside my cube? Fortunately I have a cube on the aisle, so I've got a big outside wall to work with. Looking at the space I figured if I was judicious I could post the entire year on just that wall. It was only a month or so in that I realized that people don't want to have to get down on their knees (or belly) to read a comic strip. I think my fatal oversight was underestimating how popular it would be. One of the executives (the number three man at the company) is a huge fan.

In any event, I just posted the first three months, and it's already down the wall to the point where people have to bend somewhat to read the latest strip, so I'm moving over to the next cube. By year's end the entire hall will be covered in Dilbert cartoons. Of course in the beginning I never thought I'd make it through January before someone asked me to take it down; I guess that's what perseverance gets you. Finally, if for some bizarre reason View From the Bushes is your primary news source, I should inform you that Terri Schiavo is dead.
