Cereal Offenders

It could be because I'm just hungry.... or because we have so much of it that it's practically pouring out of the pantry... but I can't stop thinking that the people we work with sometimes are very much like cereal:

The Cheerio: Happy to be at work. Happy to be working. Happy to be annoying everyone with my happiness.

The Rice Krispie: Perfunctory. Does exactly what needs to be done with an attitude of intolerance. Very efficient.

The Captain Crunch: One strangely dressed manager to lead them all.

The Corn Flake: I don't really know what I'm doing. I'll sit here and play solitaire. Wait, how do I open solitaire again?

Any other suggestions?

A couple of thoughts:

- The Oatmeal: Boring? Stolid? Inert, even? Maybe, but I can still get the job done better than most of you whippersnappers.

- The Frosted Flake: I'm full of energy! I'm just too distractible to do much with it. On the plus side, I'm so sweet you might not mind.

- The Muesli: Efficient and surprisingly pleasant; often with a mild European accent.

Frosted Miniwheats: Two sided? More like two faced. Nice and sweet when you're looking at me; harsh and unpleasant when you're not.

Cranberry Almond Crunch: Something to make everyone happy. And I'm good for you.
