Teresa, the link doesn't work. I searched his main page for the word "DNA" and it came up empty. Is the post still there?

Off Topic - I saw this over the weekend and thought of you! http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/dilbert-20071007.html

Mark,

Huh. I went to his site, and the post is gone. He must have removed it. It was right above the World Vision post. Now it's gone.

Oh well.

Thanks for the link to the Dilbert cartoon. I used to like Dilbert quite a bit when I worked in a cube farm. Actually, I didn't so much work in a "cube farm". In a "cube farm" each person has their own computer. Where I worked was called a "bullpen". I was testing software in this "bull pen" that was used by numerous technicians who used the computers to record data. This meant that I had to carry my notes and other things around with me in an over-stuffed breifcase. It was a great incentive to finish all work before the end of the day (or stay after till it was done) or not start anything new in the last hour of the day.

Anyway, nothing makes Dilbert hilarious like working in that environment...oh, and they literally gave you "gold stars" for doing a good job. The "gold stars" were on things like post-it-note pads, pens and coffee cups and sports bottles and such. SCORE! I finished on a deadline and they gave me a post-it note pad! I feel so VALIDATED!

*snort*

Ohhh! A post-it note pad with with GOLD STARS! Wow. I can only imagine what you used it for...

I can just hear your acceptance speach. "Gee thanks, boss! A first grader gets better treatment! Why don't you take the 15 minutes it took to give me this stupid note pad and multiply it by the hourly wage of everyone attending this ridiculous meeting, including your wage, and stroke me a check! I'd certainly feel a lot better and everyone working here wouldn't walk away snickering at you for being such a moron!"

Mark,

Unfortunatly, I think my "speech" ran something along the lines of ascertaining wether it would be considered stealing for me to bring it home and use it there for personal purposes.

I never really DID get that clarified...
