Another Dilbert day at the Cube Farm


Another Monday, MrGrumpy woke to the sound of the iPod alarm, he has found that getting up at about 6:10am he can get ready and be in the office by 7:00am (+ or - 5mins depending on traffic).
Unusually it was grey and overcast, but not cold, the forecast shows it should be sunny and pretty warm later. 
MrGrumpy has already seen so much sun in the last month, he does not mind it being a little cooler or even cloudy. This is especially true during the week, when he is lucky to see daylight. 
He has not climbed high enough up the greasy pole to qualify for a "cube with a view".

On a Monday morning MrGrumpy heads into Alcatraz1 to check his emails and check what actions are needed for the week. On his way to his cube he saw a familiar face, so stopped to say "hello", it was MrFinance followed closely by MrElPresidente, who are over for meetings.

MrGrumpy has sort of gained a minion in a Dilbert sort of way, MrZee is a new developer who he is tasked with getting up to speed. Ref: Mentoring

As if MrGrumpy's life did not already resemble that of Dilbert, the cube farm and US culture it is more like his daily life every day.  Although thinking about it, MrGrumpy has more in common with Wally than Dilbert, does that make him a Walbert? Ref: Cube Farming

MrElPresidente visited MrGrumpy's cube today, MrGrumpy then introduced him to MrZee as he had expressed an interest in meeting the various minions under his leadership.
