Scott Adams quotes about
holiday weekend careers
For most of my career I did one comic a day, every day, including weekends and holidays.
diverse
The longer you work here, diverse it gets.
creativity trying stuff
I try to manage my day by my circadian rhythms because the creativity is such an elusive thing, and I could easily just stomp over it doing my administrative stuff.
zero long mind
I have infinite capacity to do more work as long as you don't mind that my quality approaches zero.
ignorance views doubt

entrepreneur would-be cartoonist
I've always defined myself not as a cartoonist , but as an entrepreneur. That was true before I tried cartooning. I always imagined cartooning would be how I got my seed capital. I always thought my other businesses would be the less dominant part of my life.
drawing hands fancy
I burned out my drawing hand by using it too much. The common word for it is writer's cramp. The fancy words for it are focal dystonia. The symptom in my case was a pinky finger that went spastic when I tried to draw.
creativity people cubicles
In fact, most people are being squeezed in their little cubicle, and their creativity is forced out elsewhere, because the company can't use it. The company is organized to get rid of variants.
years boss different
I had several different bosses during the early years of 'Dilbert.' They were all pretty sure I was mocking someone else.
success risk quality
If I had to pick one quality that best predicts success (other than wanting to be successful) it would be the willingness to risk embarrassment.
