Four words good, six words bad
Does Dilbert compose six-word IT stories? We detect the influence of the father of all existentialist cubicle crises in work from the desk of Graham Browning at Mayday Healthcare NHS Trust, entitled: “Logged in; logged out; went home”.
Our second review this week comes courtesy of Peter Grossi at 2K Business Services, who challenges “anybody to say something worth saying in six words that cannot be adequately expressed in four”.
Here’s a man with an artistic vision perfectly tuned for the world of 21st century IT novels, you think. Or maybe he just has some kind of attention disorder.
However, you can’t argue with the quality of his work, such as: “reboot and ring back”, “your call is important” and the story he says is his personal favourite: “where’s the ‘any’ key?”

An ex-colleague of mine used to answer the phone when on call out-of-hours with 'This better be good'. Over time he received fewer and fewer interruptions to his sleep.
