Even though Dogbert is my role model, the longer I spend as manager, the more I feel like the pointy haired boss. *sigh*
The book fell open at this one:
Dogbert: I am going to start my own book publishing company so I can reject people all day long. I'll dismiss their life's work with a gesture and a witty comment. Bottom line, I am just not a people person.
Dilbert: I've noticed.

He received a B.A. in economics from Hartwick College, Oneonta, NY and an MBA from the University of California, Berkeley. He is also a certified hypnotist.
