Real-Life Humor: Stealing From Work
Scott Adams writes on The Dilbert Blog:
While I don't condone stealing from work, I often admire the ingenuity that goes into doing it. I got this letter from a Dilbert reader:
"I found this office behavior extreme enough to share with you. A co-worker of mine is so cheap that he bought one of the portable electric batteries that you can charge up for emergencies, like jumpstarting your car or running appliances off of during camping trips, and brings it to work everyday and lets it charge in his cubicle. He then takes it home and runs his lights or microwave off of it. He says he is forcing the company to pay him a little extra by taking electricity home. He also tries to time all of his bodily eliminations to occur at work so that he uses company water for flushing etc… to further save himself money and cost the company."
If energy prices continue to go higher, someone is going to invent a portable battery that looks like a laptop computer. It will appear that you are just charging your laptop at work, but then you bring it home and use it to power your house. I like it.
