Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 06, 2013

Don’t give in. It’s a sign of weakness.

Get a third party to conference call both of you.

Hey, leggo my ego….

♫♪ You gotta have faaaace…. miles and miles and miles of face…. ♫♪ (To the tune of You Gotta Have Heart)

No, executives have keyboards, too. Admittedly not much work gets done on them and most of the documents are passworded..My ex boss let his son use his PC and just by “accident” I found his English homework….a really dismal sci-fi essay. Why are some middle class children years behind other kids?

It’s not the size of the office, it’s how well you use the putter.

There is a Harlan Ellison story about two businessmen or politicians who fight it out in a virtual reality game with monsters and battles to the death. The man with the stronger ego and imagination will win. The ending is quite surprising, and I won’t spoil it here. I can’t remember the name of the story, darn it.

The sad thing is that this isn’t nearly as silly as what happens in the real world.

Ego enhancement is OK if only you have something to go on….

With that big puttter, you can’t see the balls!

It is sadly amazing what some people will do and treat other people to get a bigger desk, more windows, bigger office, higher office, etc., and when all those around him/her are destroyed consider himself/herself more virtuous than everyone else.

so that’s why the stalemate in Washington!!!

that’s what i told him last night!

secretary seems to know a bit much about relative size. wonder which desk she prefers being under.

You said: “This guy is clearly lower status. He has his own keyboard. REAL executives have people to do their typing for them.”-————————————He doesn’t do his own typing, He needs the keyboard to play online poker and watch YouTube while everyone else works.

This guy has a pretty big window.

Didn’t see much point; it was so bad I doubt if it even got marked.

The guy with the corner office wins !
