the ultimate sinecure. As a call center worker for a company that more resembled the

Employee: "Oh, they're
pretty good. My rankin...I mean my sorting algorithm works fine now."
Boss: "Great, well, I'll see you around then. "
Employee: "See you around.... *alt+tab* (mumbling) ... dammit I'm outta time and my ranking went down to 1370.. "
