Yes, you should write it up.
And post it.
Maybe even run it as a PBP game.

Might make for a good board/card game.

Huh. I think that some of it would be understood by many (I am sure that most office workers will shudder in horror at the Loop of Infinite Edits!), some of my ideas are very specific to my work place...

Still, it's just the right size for a pbp game

HR guy: Do you know why you're here today?
You: No.
HR: You were very rude to a customer. You guys at the Help Desk should be...helpful...don't you think?
You: I suppose...
HR: Okay, to help turn you around we are going to do a little something we HR guys call...'Role-Playing'. Have you heard of it?
You: *imagines stabbing HR guy's eyes out with a rusty spoon* ....Yes...yes I have.
HR: Let's say you are at the Help Desk when you are approached by an angry looking customer; what do you do?
You: I waste him with my crossbow!

This gives Death by Meeting a whole need meaning. And I might go with Mt. Room or Mt. Boardroom for where the dungeon lies.

Three Stocks for trust fund babies under the sky,
Seven for Wallstreet lords in their halls of cash,
Nine for common workers doomed to toil forever,
One for the CEO on his golden throne
in the land of NASDAQ where the money lies.
One Stock to rule them all, One Stock to find them,
One Stock to bring them all and in the boardroom bind them
in the land of NASDAQ where the money lies.

I used to be a stock broker like you, then I took a market bubble to the portfolio.

My job is constant D&D adventure. I teach hordes of goblins and kobolds who are unable to harm me or yield any worthwhile treasure, but occasionally they summon their brood mothers with their cries.

So...

So I'm at work at an "all staff meeting". About 100 of us listening to presentations of various quality.

This guy gives a presentation with a poorly thought out map (instead of a chart) with bad labels and too many acronyms. Next the Director General is going to talk to us about his vision. I snicker a bit telling myself that clearly he's gained level in the Oracle Class. Then it struck me... my job is a bad D&D game! And thus, during the meeting, I came up with an entire adventure on the spot.

You must first cross the Fields of Apathy where the invisible evaluators lurk. You must defeat the Cost-Cutting Vampire, thus gaining the red folder of protection +1. You then head to the terrible dark dungeon that lies beneath the terrible Mountain of Work!

Face the Specters of Past Precedents! Can you outrun the zombie submissions? Are you brave enough to stand up to the Senior Mages? Can you outwit the Loop of Endless Edits? Avoid the giant Press? Sneak by the unblinking eyes of the Stakeholders?

Your reward for facing these perils? Why, the Cake of Retirement.

The cake is a lie.

What about the pie over at the Office Resource Center?
