A Day in the Life of the Pointy-Haired Boss

The pointy-haired boss wakes up
Has wine for breakfast
Goes to work
Ruins a software engineer's life
Fires his secretary
Has wine for lunch
Raids the accounting department
Holds a useless meeting
Illuminates (sic) a small business
Hires an idiot
Goes back home
Has wine for dinner
Gets drunk
Watches TV
Sleeps
Has nightmares
Wakes up
Sleeps again.
