Summary: The only thing that gets me through the day... 2010-02-24
Comment: Seriously. When you sit in a 8x8 cube of doom that was designed with "soul crusher" gray walls for 8-10 hours a day you could use a good laugh every now and then. Dilbert just has me figured out! Granted I work in IT - I also work for a fortune 500 company so a lot of the corporate jokes that Dilbert makes are DEAD ON. Examples of this include goal setting, project management, office weight loss, redundant meetings, etc, etc.
Every morning I hurry to my cube with a little bit of excitement knowing that I get to tear off a new comic! My only complaint? occasionaly the paper tops hang a little bit when you tear them off and it looks kind of sloppy, but the manufacturer made little perforated sections that can tear off at 1/8 increments through the comic to remove all of the excess paper left behind.
If you know someone who works in an office - preferable with cubicles - they will truly appreciate this little gift. It makes my day!

Summary: a great way to get a daily dose of Dilbert 2010-02-14
Comment: I just realized I've been using Dilbert Day-to-Day Calendars for at least 5 years.
The only calendar I might give it up for is one that doesn't exist: 'The Calvin and Hobbes Day-to-Day Calendar'.
But this one usually gets at least a chuckle out of me when I sit down to breakfast, and that's not a bad way to start the day.
My only complaint is that the back of the pages now have some puzzle or quiz or something; I don't know who thought of doing that, but it's totally unnecessary - Dilbert can stand on his own and doesn't need any little extras.
Besides, I often used to use the back of old pages to make notes to myself for the day, but now it's a drag because of that stuff being in the way, so I've had to switch to using the back of pages from the 'Zen Page-a-Day Calendar'.
It's a little late for this year, but check it out for next year - it's still a great way to get a daily dose of Dilbert!

Comment: We enjoy Dilbert so much because Scott Adams captures the essence of our daily lives. It is so refreshing to know that we are not the only ones to experience daily interaction with idiots. These calendars are sometimes hard to find but I know I can depend on Amazon.com. Keep 'em coming!!

Summary: Makes the morning 2010-02-14
Comment: I love it. Makes the morning, usually by being funny. I rarely use it as a regular calendar, but more of a daily comic. Helps even better on Monday when you have the weekend sheets to go through.

Summary: Gotta love cubeville 2010-02-10
Comment: Every year I buy a dilbert calendar from the kiosk at the mall. This year I bought a close to home calendar, and it didn't measure up.
I waited until february to chase down a dilbert calendar. I guess it makes sense that most pace were out of stock, as a calendar is something you'd buy near the end of the year.
I did find one for a little more than msrp, not that much more though.
It was still cheaper than a trip to the mall.
Only thing I don't care for is the daily extra, I used to use the pages for scratch paper, now I just save them in the box the calendar came with.
