OFFICE SPACE

Office Space by Mike Judge (Creator Of Beavis and Butthead) is one of my top 50 movies of all times! If you really despise your stagnant life going to work everyday living in the corporate world then I highly recommend this movie. I love the way Office Space uses comedy to project a serious message to us about doing what we really want to do in life. The story revolves around a character named Peter Gibbons played by Ron Livingston who basically can't stand his job. Halfway through the movie Peter is hypnotized and begins to start flaking off at work. He begins to start showing up at work when he feels and neglecting his duties.

One of the funniest characters in the movie is his boss Bill Lumbergh played by Gary Cole. Lumbergh is the typical boss that constantly breaths down your neck with a cup of coffee that appears to be glued to his hand harassing you about some BS everyday. In Peter's case he is constantly hounded over TPS reports from management that appears to drive him up the wall. Peter hates his boss so much he even has nightmares about him sleeping with his girlfriend played by Jennifer Aniston.

The plot thickens when Peter and his friends at the job install a virus into the system at their job that embezzles money into their bank accounts. They were supposed to be under the radar but the amount embezzled was so enormous that the characters panic and a lot of hilarious activities ensue. At the end of the movie the main character Peter eventually leaves his position working in the IT field and gets a job as a construction worker. The moral of the story is to find what works for you. Even though the character probably makes way less money as a construction worker vs working at a software company, he can wake up everyday happy.
