Around a cheap, rectangular, pressed wood table in a tall dreary office building; five miserable individuals began yet another day, of dismal office meetings. At the head of the dirty, coffee-stained table, the embodiment of all evil sat, the pointy-haired boss!
Around him drooped the sad figures of, Dilbert, pink-headed man, Mr. bald-but-I don’t-know-it, and the newly hired accountant, Bob.
With an evil grin filled with malice the pointy-haired boss gazed at the newly hired accountant and asked for the estimates of the monthly budget. The newly hired accountant looked white as a sheet, “Whaatt”, he stammered, “I, I, forgot to total the cost estimates.” As the newly hired accountant was sweating in his seat, Dilbert and the others stared passively into space.
Suddenly Bob, with white, knuckled hands gripped the table and screamed, “gaaaa!!!! You’re going to fire me; I’m the next casualty of the frail economy.” Meanwhile, Dilbert and the others continued to stare off into space seemingly oblivious to the terror swirling around them.
Instantly, as if awakened from a trance the pointy haired boss stated, “Maybe we could finish this by e-mail.” At this, Bob leaped from his chair and started marching around the room waving his hands in nonsensical sign language. All the while he kept repeating, “Must improve Street mime skills!!!” Despite this, the others including Dilbert, continued staring at the dirty coffee stained table.

LOL! That “Dilbert” just kills me. I haven’t read this one yet, so at first I had no idea what the narrative was about. Then, I saw the light. Very good imagery!
