sad in a funny way, funny in a sad way
What does it say about us all, that we are willing to be cubicle slaves for a regular paycheck and (sometimes) benefits? Human beings were NOT meant to sit in a cubicle for 8+ hours/day, under fluorescent lights, suffering through pointless meetings, and singing halfhearted birthday greetings to coworkers who you secretly wish would just drop dead.Too cowardly to quit, we sit in our cubes and become obese and depressed. Then we get laid off and sit at home being obese and depressed.Decades from now, this film will be remembered as a symbol of late 20th-century life, and of our general willingness to sell out. As a cubicle slave myself, I'm not sure whether to be disgusted or amused. Certainly I am not proud of this life.
