How to Understand Your Office

By Gilbert Moore

  Can't figure out the dynamics of your office? Confused by the cast of
characters and the daily drama? Looking for a simple explanation of it all?
  You've come to the right source to get answers. My wonderful new
invention, the Universal Office Analyzer, will make things crystal clear.

  Just type in the basic facts about your office and its people and press
the button. Clank, clank, bam, bam. Out comes a detailed report classifying
and categorizing your office into one of Six Basic Office Models:

  #1: Your office is really a soap opera. Originally scheduled right after
"As the World Turns," the daily drama of your colleagues in action more
than holds its own with the afternoon TV soaps. Don't believe me? Just
study your cast of characters.

  #2: Your office is really a petty court of royalty. The boss is heir to
the Bulgarian throne. The office manager is scheming to overthrow him and
install her eldest son Lance the Unready on the throne. Meanwhile, a palace
revolution is being plotted at a local pub...Plot sound familiar?

  #3: Your office is really an old time TV situation comedy. Somewhere in
between "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "The Andy Griffith Show." With a
sprinkling of "M.A.S.H." Do things start to make sense?

  #4: Your office is really a dysfunctional small town. Complete with
gossipy neighbors, a know-it-all mayor, a bumbling police chief, a crabby
school principal, and six bratty teenagers. The only thing is, the bratty
teenagers are the production staff, and the know-it-all mayor is the boss.
Get the picture?

  #5: Your office is really a recycled '50s B science fiction movie. Ever
wonder where some of your colleagues come from? Well, it seems that
visitors from another planet left these pods in the desert. And now these
pods have assumed human form and worked their way into the work force as
part of a takeover effort by Alien Life Forms. Is it all starting to come
together in your mind?

  #6: Your office is really an implausible but very readable novel. The
plot doesn't make sense, the characters are out of central casting, the
philosophy wouldn't strain the mind of an Airedale puppy, but, by golly,
this novel is so darn INTERESTING, I just keep turning the pages.  NOW do
you get it?
