Yesterday (8 June) was Scott Adams' 64th birthday. He's the creator of Dilbert® cartoons. I was on vacation, but today I'm back at work, so my tie shows Dilbert doing his "shuffle" to break the workplace monotony.

25 February 20

Today I'm attending three meetings, two online and one in-person. That allows me to do the "Dilbert Shuffle," both virtually and in real life.

16 April 18

This is the anniversary of the first Dilbert® cartoon, published in 1989. I'm wearing my "Dilbert shuffle" tie, featuring a dance step where Dilbert adds a little twist to his walk.

On this date in 1752, the British Empire switched to the (updated) Gregorian calendar -- the previous day had been "September 2." I am busy with administrivia and meetings today, so I'm engaging in the "Dilbert Shuffle." Yes, Mallie keeps watch over me from many angles.

Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert®, was born on this date on 1957. I am doing a Dilbert shuffle today -- first this afternoon's department meeting was cancelled, and then it was put back on the schedule . . .

11 August 10

According to my Outlook calendar, I must go to a department meeting today at 10 a.m., where we will "go around the table" reporting on activities and plans from our various areas in Information Technology. I will get to say that we had a very smooth upgrade yesterday morning and that everything is OK for the start of the semester. In my mind I will be doing a Dilbert Shuffle the whole time.

Have Fun at Work Day! Throw a little shuffle into your walk so people can wonder "Why?".

Today marks the birthday (in 1919) of Laurence J. Peter, who became famous for the Peter Principle: In any organizational hierarchy, individuals tend to rise to their level of incompetence. So I chose my "Dilbert Shuffle" tie, making it an annual tradition. Today is also noteworthy in our family as the 80th birthday of Wilma Wollenweber (Beth's mom) and the 22nd for David Ladd Wollenweber (our nephew). Of worldwide significance, this is International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, as proclaimed by the United Nations.

I had to be in a Dilbert-ish meeting today, and it had been shuffled from yesterday to match people's schedules. So here's the Dilbert Shuffle.

16 September 08

Today marks the birthday (in 1919) of Laurence J. Peter, who became famous for the Peter Principle: In any organizational hierarchy, individuals tend to rise to their level of incompetence. I don't think I'm there yet, but I know that Dilbert's boss has reached that goal. Meanwhile, Dilbert keeps on shuffling . . . to his own beat . . .
