The shrink says "Phantom Pager Syndrome" is common among IT workers , and there is nothing he can do to make it stop. Dilbert says he doesn't want to make it stop, he wants to relocate it. Mr Adams has recycled the idea and updated it for the BB crowd and now calls it Phantom BlackBerrry Vibration Syndrome, or PBVS. http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/the_dilbert_blog/2007/04/pavlovs_cartoon. html From: Sherry Abercrombie [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 8:33 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Monitor: regular or widescreen And what guy doesn't??
