They Boot Bosses, Don't They? http://tc.eserver.org/25923.html http://tc.eserver.org/25923.html I got a free pen, a free highlighter, a pad, and this story out of the Internet training course my company sent me to.

Humor in the Workplace? http://tc.eserver.org/19996.html http://tc.eserver.org/19996.html Over the years, I've been accused of not taking life seriously enough. Although life certainly is no joke, it's not all Sturm und Drang or Weltschmerz, either. Mostly, I think, it's like Mozart: exhilarating and joyous except when it's not. The Love Song of J. Alfred Techrock http://tc.eserver.org/14655.html http://tc.eserver.org/14655.html Manley's loving parody of T. S. Eliot's 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' touches on the realities of technical communicators on the job. Tina the Tech Writer http://tc.eserver.org/14058.html http://tc.eserver.org/14058.html She's the technical writer in Dilbert's engineering department. Tina believes any conversation within hearing distance is intended as an insult to her profession and her gender. She strives to maintain her dignity while surrounded by engineers who don't have a proper respect for her work. A Day in the Life http://tc.eserver.org/13941.html http://tc.eserver.org/13941.html If it's a good day, you arrive at work around seven o'clock, grateful for having missed the morning rush hour. Today's not a good day, so instead you crawl out from under the shakey shelf in your cubicle, glad that neither your cranky, obsolete computer nor the stale glass of Jolt cola fell on you during the night. Don't laugh; it's happened before, and putting yourself back together again cost you an hour of sleep you desperately needed. You smell the stench of cold pizza, and what's really appalling is that you're not sure whether it's coming from your shirt, your breath, or a hidden cache somewhere in the cubicle under piles of documentation someone left you to review. That's not your problem right now. The MBA Sentence Generator http://tc.eserver.org/13718.html http://tc.eserver.org/13718.html MBA Writer is a humorous site for automatically generating business-speak. It automatically generate sentences ready for inclusion into your business memos, without all of the thinking!

This website shows the past month's worth of episodes from the daily syndicated cartoon.
