If the rest of your brain were conscious, it would probably regard you as the pointy-haired boss from Dilbert

About This Quote

The “pointy-haired boss” character in Dilbert is a legendary office stooge. His name is Wally, and he serves as the butt of Dilbert’s in-office jokes. He wears a bow tie, a pair of glasses and a long, pointy beard. He’s basically a cartoon version of a pompous, officious bureaucrat.

In the strip, Wally makes no secret of the fact that he hates his job. He considers it beneath him. On one occasion, he even told Dilbert to go do something more productive with his life if he didn’t want to work at the company any more.
