I RARELY SEE YOU WORKING. HOW DO YOU GET AWAY WITH IT?

IT'S EASY. I JUST WAIT A DAY BEFORE ANSWERING ANY TEXTS OR EMAILS.

FOR EXAMPLE, HERE'S ALICE ASKING IF I CAN ATTEND A MEETING IN AN HOUR.

I'LL ANSWER HER IN THE MORNING AND SAY I DIDN'T SEE HER MESSAGE.

AND HERE'S DILBERT ASKING ME FOR SOME DATA.

TOMORROW, I WILL TEXT HIM TO ASK FOR CLARIFICATION, AND HE WILL TELL ME HE FOUND THE DATA ON HIS OWN DON'T YOU FEEL GUILTY?

NAH.

THEY'D DO THE SAME TO ME.

AND DO THEY?

THEY WOULD IF I DIDN'T IGNORE THEM FIRST.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
