As an IT Geek, this is one of my favourite Dilbert...
Co-worker: Hey! Dilbert. Would you mind stopping by my house after work and seeing if you can fix my computer?
Dilbert: Sure. And while I do that you can be at my house cleaning the grout in my shower.

As is tradition with these things, I am running for charity. Back in March a friend of ours husband died, both suddenly and unexpectedly. He was a young, energetic, hard-working and personable man and left behind a...
