[ExI] Heroism without self-sacrifice

This reminds me of the company IT 'hero'. The firefighter who runs
around from emergency to emergency, shouting a lot, working through
the night, and accepting all the rewards and applause.

While Dilbert in his cubicle, does his backups, applies his patches,
runs through his checklists, etc. and never has an emergency. And
everybody wonders what his job is, as he never appears to be doing
anything.

Who's the real hero?

 LOL, Thanks Bill. You brought back so many memories. I have been in both situations as many of us have.
Personally I think that Dilbert is the far greater unsung hero, and without doubt the more mature.
