Cartoons and humor inspired by Microsoft Office.

Love + Job + Time =

Love   Job   Time =

Today’s Office OFFline comic  is my take on a comic that appeared in "a softer world"

So, yeah. If you love your job, let me know in the comments. I’ll try to send help.

Tomorrow: the week in review (for real this time)

Work + Irony =

Work   Irony =

Today’s Office OFFline comic was inspired by something I tweeted.

A coworker pointed out that the title of this post really should be "Work + Work = Irony"

I apologize for not posting the last couple of days, and for not posting a week in review as promised. Rest and relaxation got the better of me. I hope you’ll forgive me. Someday.

Tomorrow: Loving my job.

Hindsight + Geeks =

Today’s Office OFFline comic was inspired by a recent trip to the optometrist.

On a related note, I need new glasses, but I’m thinking about getting laser eye surgery instead. Have any tips or advice?

Tomorrow: the week in review (I’m taking the day off to get an early start on the Fourth of July weekend).

Bosses – Deadlines =

Bosses - Deadlines =

Today’s Office OFFline comic was inspired by a project I’m planning.

Anyone have any good tips on setting realistic goals? Right now, it feels like I’m throwing darts. In the dark. With my feet.

Note to readers: I apologize for not posting this comic earlier. I just now noticed an open window telling me that I hadn't hit the Publish button this morning. Doh!

Tomorrow: Hindsight

People + Anthropomorphisms =

People   Anthropomorphism =

Today’s Office OFFline comic was inspired (in a roundabout way) by Transformers 2, and how as human beings, we like to anthropomorphize machines.

I actually really liked the movie. It was a good, old-fashioned, mindless, good time. Thank you, everyone, for sending me your reviews.

Tomorrow: Bosses and deadlines.

Movies + Lowest Common Denominator =

Movies   Lowest Common Denominator =

Photo by A6U571N

Today’s Office OFFline comic was  inspired by the meaning of "lowest common denominator" and the reviews I've seen for Transformers 2.

Oh, well. I'm going to see it anyway, because I'm geeky like that.

Tomorrow (Saturday): the week in review (for RSS subscribers only).

Geeks + Marketing =

Geeks   Marketing =

Today’s Office OFFline comic was inspired by Transformers 2, of course. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I’m dying to. Have you seen it? Was it any good?

Tomorrow: ???

Bosses + Self – Image =

Self - Image =

Today’s Office OFFline comic was  inspired by how well Bing image search really works. Have you tried it yet? What did you think?

Tomorrow: Me and Marketing (maybe)

News - Microsoft Money =

News - Microsoft Money =

Photo by twocents

Today’s Office OFFline comic was inspired by the announcement that you will no longer be able to buy Microsoft Money after June 30.

A long time ago, I used Money (and Quicken), but frankly, they were more than I needed. I’ve heard that Mint is cool. Has anyone tried it?

Tomorrow: Bosses and self-image

Studies + Trust =

Studies   Trust =

Photo by phauly

Today’s Office OFFline comic was  inspired by "Humans prefer cockiness to expertise." I am absolutely, positively, 100.000% certain that the study is unequivocally true. Believe me now?

Tomorrow (Saturday): the week in review (for RSS subscribers only).

Servers + Responsiveness =

Servers   Responsiveness =

I’m hoping that by saying a few nice words about servers, they’ll start displaying my comics again. In the mean time, if a comic isn’t displaying properly, click the area where it’s supposed to be and you’ll see the comic on Flickr.

Tomorrow: trust and “experts.”

Deadlines + Bosses =

Deadlines   Bosses =

Photo by dev null

Today’s Office OFFline comic was inspired by the origin of the word "deadline" and the phrase "put a stake in the ground."

We use a lot of funny idioms at Microsoft. What about you? What’s the most ridiculous phrase you’ve heard at work?

Tomorrow: a few nice words about servers. (I’ve learned that if you don’t keep them happy, they stop displaying your comics.)

Moving + Bosses =

Moving   Bosses =

Photo by Larsz

Today’s Office OFFline comic was inspired by the fact that I moved offices last Friday.

Tomorrow: Deadlines and bosses.
