Star Quality

I should be a movie star. I mean, I am already playing the perfect role of 'Bob' from Office Space, why not just put me up on the big screen? I know we have talked many times about how my life at work is very similar to some others on the big screen. Well this week, it's gotten worse.

As my role in Office Space2, I will play Bobbie (the female 'Bob'). My character is a beautiful young complex woman, who is trying to just do her job. Her company, along with two other coworkers (Robert and Bobo) are sent to exotic Richmond, VA where they will meet and greet some of the finest Comtech has to offer.

In my first scene, I am with Robert and we are running interviews.
Bobbie: "You see, what we're trying to do is get a feeling for how people spend their time at work so if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?"
Peter Gibbons: Yeah.
Bobbie: Great.
Peter Gibbons: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh - after that I sorta space out for an hour.
Robert: Da-uh? Space out?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

See. I have star potential written all over me. It's been an interesting life.

*FYI: if you have never seen Office Space this will mean nothing to you so go away!
