You just outed yourself as somebody who did not watch 'Office Space'; We very much recommend it. ;)

+1 for Office Space. Or Dilbert, for that matter. I always thought they took a situation and exaggerate it to the absurd. Now I know that they were actually being conservative. Truth really is stranger than fiction...

Brazil, Office Space, Dilbert, and The Office are all in my pantheon of corporate/cubicle/office comedy. I wrote a little homage in a recent sci-fi comedy novel of mine, just because. A homage to Dwight in particular.
