Work is the unpleasant activity that we must undertake between weekends in order to buy cheap alcohol, luxury biscuits and shiny new shoes. For most of us it is a daily grind which is made worse by the myriad of strange creatures who we are forced to call our colleagues. From the Sneak and the Snitch to the Comedy Boss and the Unauthorised Delegator, the modern workplace is brimming with characters who strive to maintain a bubbling cauldron of gossip, deceit and ill-conceived plots and whose collective activity succeeds only in transforming a disagreeable experience into an infuriating one.
