HELLO, WALLY. HUMAN RESOURCES ASSIGNED ME TO BE YOUR ERGO BUDDY.

I'LL OBSERVE WHILE YOU WORK, THEN GIVE YOU SUGGESTIONS ON IMPROVING YOUR ERGONOMICS.

YOUR POSTURE IS ALL WRONG, AND YOUR KEYBOARD NEEDS TO BE LOWER.

YOUR BAD ERGONOMIC PRACTICES HAVE TURNED YOU INTO A GOLEM.

WHAT?

IT MEANS A SHAPELESS MASS IMBUED WITH LIFE. A LUMP, CLOD, OR FOOL.

IT'S RIGHT HERE ON MY CHECKLIST, AFTER "BONELESS CHICKEN." DOES THAT SAY YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO POUR SALT ON ME UNTIL I DRY UP AND DIE?

LET'S PRETEND YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT.
