The daily strip through Thursday was PHB interupting Dilbert about his project that took him a few days to set up a programming environment and more time dealing with technical debt. Then there was the flow problem when adding a project and the zone interruption.
Today, PHB asks why Dilbert isn't done with the software, to which Dilbert sharply responds in front Catbert the above mentioned interruptions. Catbert being clueless asks PHB "what did he mean by that?" PHB says "sounded like some sort of Feng Shei."
Feng shui — which literally translates to "wind and water" — is the ancient Chinese art of placement. The goal is to enhance the flow of chi (life force or spiritual energy), and to create harmonious environments that ...
I never knew the definition of the Chinese interior design philosophy had words "flow of chi" and "create a harmonious environments," so PHB actually seems clever in his response.

Today PHB gave Dilbert an extra project that would mess with Dilbert's flow. Yesterday, we learned about the technical debt problem and on Monday we learned about setting up programming environment.
Yes, I googled some more.

Given on Sunday PHB and Catbert spoke about Dilbert's happiness meaning he was primed for more work, today makes sense. I wonder if tomorrow brings a moan.

Not sure what Dilbert means by "technical debt," but I could google it. Yesterday, I was ignorant of setting up a programming environment, and I've yet to google it. I shouldn't feel the need to google to understand a joke.
