       Dilbert sits at his desk.  The Boss says, "I'm putting you on the
       strategic planning team."   The Boss continues, "It's like work but
       without the satisfaction of accomplishing anything."   Dilbert and
       three co-workers sit at a conference table.  A man says, "You're new,
       so let me explain how this works."   The man continues, "We have
       meetings and talk about the company's strategy in vague emotional
       terms."   The man continues, "In time, we convince ourselves that
       we're more than mediocre thinkers who sit around complaining."   The
       man continues, "We start believing our opinions will steer the
       company.  We feel important.  We feel ALIVE!!"   A woman tells
       Dilbert, "Then we snap out of it and make viewgraphs that say we
       should keep doing what we're doing."   Dilbert says, "I like making
       viewgraphs."  The woman replies, "Actually, we use last year's
       viewgraph."
