Happy, Healthy and Wise?
I'm well! I'm well! I'm well!
Today, I realized that I was finally over the flu when the walls of my apartment started to close in on me, and I started feeling deprived of social contact with the outside world (hence all the phone calls to friends and a batch of e-mails). '
Other great news--I was somewhat productive and met my thesis deadline. Praise God in the small things. It's a very rough draft. However, given that I didn't finalize my topic until 2 weeks ago and didn't work on it all last week, I'm happy. It's an interesting topic and there will be probably be more posts about it.
Can't say so much for the management paper. Who knew there was so much information out there about Dilbert? There are actual scholarly articles written with titles like "The Idols of Organizational Theory from Francis Bacon to the Dilbert Principle," "The Dilbert Syndrome: How Employee Cynicism about Ineffective Management is Changing the Nature of Careers in Organizations" and "An Economic Analysis of the Peter and Dilbert Principle." However, my favorite one is "Manger-Employee Relations Guided by Kant's Categorical Imperative or by Dilbert's Business Principle." I never imagined that I'd see Immanuel Kant's name in the same title of Dilbert. Scott Adams must be a modern-day philosopher.
