What is it about Dilbert? Why do I respond so?

Is it merely my crap relationships with women, or the alienation of the specialist/expert, though I'm a bit of a faker when it comes to expertise: I'm much more the sort of person who will make do.
I think this comes from the production jobs I get from time to time - budget constraints necessitate adherence to schedules, etc. Sometimes a performance, though not as good as possible, does everything it's supposed to do, and it's a wrap, so to speak, and move on to the next bit of tracking or whatever.
