Powerloafing with CubicleCarl

Among his duties as an employee of Office Company, Inc., CubicleCarl writes efficiency reports ''utilizing a systems approach with a holistic dynamic.'' Which is a fancy way of saying he spends hours surfing the Net. And even though he encourages coworkers to slack and spreads rumors about managers, CC still ends up yachting with the boss. These five-minute sitcoms, cocreated and resurrected by a former writer on The Chris Rock Show, were conceived during the heyday of online entertainment. That said, these gags would probably have been funnier when goof-off jobs were plentiful.
