    His job is to respond to all the “I am not a robot” captcha’s for the other employees.

    Ah, I see The Singularity has arrived.

    I just don’t see how we are going to be controlled by machines that can be ruined with liquids. So go ahead… take over.

    … we have all the water!

    Simpkin’s “I” is not “A” enough for him to fit in.

    Note that the robot at the desk to his right seems happy that Simpkins is in trouble.

    Bleeb, go elsewhere. There is nothing here worth observing.

    It is his fault for not trying to fit in. Why should he have coffee instead of WD-40 in the morning?

    I knew our small company was in bad shape. All I could do is tell the new intern to keep his resume in circulation. It was only a couple a weeks before I heard him summoned to the office and afterward we shook hands good-bye.

    A few minutes later, I was called to the office …

    Never so happy to be laid off in my life.

    Looks like Artificial Intelligence on steroids in that office. Could be our future if we aren’t careful.

    I don’t recall the actual title, but Allan Sherman had a song about automation involving office romance, Maybe this will involve automation and pink slips.

    What’s sad is that he’s going to go home and find that his wife bought one, too.
