"Dilbert", "Office Space", "The Office", and "Chris's Life!"

Three illustrations of my life:
Okay, maybe it's not quite that bad, but I can honestly, in any given day, think of at least three instances of how my life parallel's one of these. I don't know if it's overly depressing or way too funny, but it always makes me laugh (in that "I'm going craaaaazy" kind of way.)

I'll depart with a quote:

Peter Gibbons: You see Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.
Bob Porter: Don't... don't care?
Peter Gibbons: It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation? And here's another thing, I have eight different bosses right now.
Bob Porter: Eight?
Peter Gibbons: Eight, Bob. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.

"You see Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care." Quality!
