I saw THAT coming a mile away! 😁

It's so matter-of-factly absurd

Like maybe,

A priest, a minister, and a rabbit walk into a bar. The rabbit turns to the others and says "I think I'm a typo".

Also the mathematical precision appealed to me as an engineer.

An engineer! May we call you Dilbert? 😁

I've identified with Dilbert many times. Had more than a few pointy-haired bosses.

I've identified with Dilbert many times. Had more than a few pointy-haired bosses.

Closest I came to that was being involved in a large SW implementation and rollout project full-time for two-and-a-half years about 25 years ago (not as a programmer; I was one of the end users that told the programmers, or more correctly customizers, what we needed). Then again two smaller ones part-time in the early aughts. That stayed with me all the way up to retirement. I was luckier with direct bosses, but suspected more pointy hair further up.

In Dilbert I particularly enjoyed Dogbert, the rotund, bespectacled, cynical anti-Snoopy. Or a cross between Snoopy and my other favorite comic strip, Garfield (and of course there is also Catbert ...). 😁

If only I could get rid of some of my colleagues by throwing a bit of jewellery into a mountain

I would certainly counsel against adopting Isildur's modus operandi. I mean, cutting of colleagues' fingers to get at the attached rings could cause seriously more issues than it solves ...

Ah, but if I could set a palantir in the break room, and keep another at my desk...

Um ... I would have thought that "smart"-phones had taken care of the one drawback of the Palantiri: their nor really (actually most not even remotely, at least in modern terms) being portable?
