Summary:

The comic strip depicts a man, Dilbert, standing in front of his boss's desk, holding a red and black object. He exclaims, "I'm totally frazzled. There simply isn't enough time in the day to meet my upcoming deadlines." The boss responds by inviting Dilbert to an all-day meeting off-site to explain why the deadlines are so important. Dilbert is skeptical, stating, "I don't have a lot of tools here." The boss reassures him that his theory will have more time in the day if he explains something he already knows.
