Official transcript

Coworker: I completed the wireframe and passed it off to our coders. Dilbert: That's great. Did you incorporate all of my specs? Coworker: I didn't see any specs from you. Maybe my spam filter ate your email. Dilbert: No problem. I'll resend them and you can start from scratch. Coworker: Yes, I certainly could do that. Or I could ignore your input, enjoy my deep feeling of accomplishment and hope for the best. Wally: That sounds easier. Coworker: I accept your wise counsel, Wally. I guess your search for relevance marches on. Based on a true story

BASED ON A TRUE STORY I COMPLETED THE WIREFRAME AND PASSED IT OFF TO OUR CODERS.

THAT'S GREAT. DID YOU INCORPORATE ALL OF MY SPECS?

I DIDN'T SEE ANY SPECS FROM YOU. MAYBE MY SPAM FILTER ATE YOUR EMAIL.

NO PROBLEM. I'LL RESEND THEM AND YOU CAN START FROM SCRATCH.

YES, I CERTAINLY COULD DO THAT.

OR I COULD IGNORE YOUR INPUT, ENJOY MY DEEP FEELING OF ACCOMPLISHMENT, AND HOPE FOR THE BEST.

THAT SOUNDS EASIER I ACCEPT YOUR WISE COUNSEL, WALLY.

I GUESS YOUR SEARCH FOR RELEVANCE MARCHES ON.
