Title: "Tiling the Ceiling"

Summary:

The comic strip features Alice, an office worker, who is motivated to remain engaged despite her lack of enthusiasm. She is determined to break through the glass ceiling, symbolizing her desire for professional advancement. However, her motivation is rooted in the idea that it's just a matter of time before she achieves her goal, much like tiling a ceiling.
