20 excellent web comics that provide some much needed job search motivation and inspiration.
This is a post by Skellie. She writes about social media and blogging at Skelliewag.org.
1) Leaving for Google
Every geek’s dream job. XKCD by Randall Munroe.
2) Passive Aggressive Notes
Passive aggressive emails are slightly more in vogue, but sometimes nothing gets the message across like a good ol’ note.
3) Productivity
And it’s true–a Microsoft study revealed a dual-screen display can increase productivity by 9 to 50%.
4) Clocking-off
5) Selling-out
If this is you, it may explain why you haven’t left yet.
6) Corporate Problem-solving
7) Solitaire
Comic by Abigail Spankie.
Before the internet, there was Solitaire.
8) Meetings
9) The Joy of E-mail
10 & 11) Bad Powerpoint
12) Getting a Raise
Comic by Joe Combs.
13) Workplace Dangers
14) Little Guys
15) Day-dreaming
Comic by Shane Johnson.
16) Why Look Elsewhere?
Comic by Abigail Spankie.
17) Smiles Only
18) Minor Acts of Rebellion
19) Actually Leaving
Geeks Trying to be Funny by Christian Rivera
Every day, another reason to take the plunge.
20) Job? F%@# it!
The revolution, office-worker style.
There are seven extra panels besides these, where all the rebellious workers form a hippie commune/nudist colony. Those are probably NSFW due to nudity/sexuality, but can be viewed here. Comic strip by Packard Jennings.

Dilbert continues to reign supreme in my book. At Microsoft A LOT of people believed that Scott Adams worked there under a different name. #8 & #12 are too true to be funny. RE #3, as funny as it is, a lot of companies that employ engineers these days have 2 screens, I know amazon and google do a lot. I personally LOVE my 2 24in screens, and I am more productive. :)

Pete, I think we all have. The worst part is seeing them do it again and again.
