Other Assigned Duties

The Cast

Two leads. A rotating ensemble of people who should not be in charge.

Paper Bag Guy
Narrator · Developer · Witness

Paper Bag Guy

The guy who actually knows how the system works, which is exactly why nobody asks him. Wears a paper bag for anonymity and also as a lifestyle. Drinks his coffee hot. Has never once used the ice machine.

Charlie the boxer
Sidekick · Morale Officer

Charlie

A brindle boxer in a pink camo collar. Says nothing. Judges everything. The only coworker who has never scheduled a meeting that could have been an email.

How the world works

In this office, the people with object heads and four legs do the work. The humans manage. Any resemblance to your own workplace is, unfortunately, not our problem.

Is this real?

Every story happened. Every name, company and identifying detail has been changed. If you think you recognize yourself, you're probably thinking of someone else. If you're sure, maybe pick up the ice cube.
