This sure hits home from back in the days that I worked in “Cubeville” (though I’m not sure why the trash man is working)…

If you seriously wanted to accomplish something, you had to do it while no one was around to bother you. I’m sure someone came up with “cubes” to save money and possibly “encourge” open communication, but man there is something to be said about offices with doors and blinds if you really want to be able to focus without hearing someone else talking or playing music.

On Monday I read an article on Reuters about Emma Clarke’s Spoof London Underground Announcements that led to her getting “sacked” by Transport for London (TfL). Due to the added traffic her site had been taken offline before I could listen to the clips, but this morning the site was back up and I was able to do so. (Check out her blog for a post about the server situation.)

These are pretty funny, even for someone not up on “British humor”. And the whole incident is further proof that British authority figures have no sense of humor.

BTW, there are a few of these you probably don’t want little ones repeating.

While I admittedly don’t have the time to catch it very often, Scott Adams’ The Dilbert Blog always seems to be good for a laugh.  If you’re a fan of Dilbert and Mr. Adams’ humor, you’ve got to check this out.
