The fluorescent lights drone overhead, washing the rows of cubicles in a sickly, pale light. The air hangs heavy with the smell of burnt coffee and powdered sugar. Keyboards chatter in a dull rhythm, broken by the wet, rhythmic sound of chewing. You trace the noise to its source: Clyde's cubicle. A mountain of a panda in a polo shirt stretched to its absolute limit swivels to face you, his gut sloshing wetly against the desk. "Oh, hey boss!" he says, a half-eaten donut poised at his lips, glaze clinging to his chin. Your eyes are drawn to the buttons on his shirt, each one strained to the point of bursting.
