I've spent a good amount of time googling this morning, and have not been able to find what I'm looking for!
A few years back, I read an essay/story called something like "Living the American Dream" -- written by someone who was a "lost employee" in the org-chart at some remote office at work. He wrote up about how he was trying to keep his job, even though he had no official duties and didn't report to anyone.
If memory serves me correctly, in part of the story, he randomly received a bunch of "globes" delivered to him...
Anyone recall this or have a link?
