T

Working Daze centers around the working relationships of a group of mostly geeks who work for MacroMicroMedia, a giant, impersonal software company. — Jay Johnstone, the everyman programmer. Years with the company have made him a bit cynical, and not a bit richer. — Roy Hobbs, the engineer/repair guy. An expert with computers and machines, but he doesn't have a clue how to deal with people. — Rita McMann, the evil manager. She thinks "rock bottom line" - unless it would mean her suffering. — Dana Powers, the overworked office manager. Don't cross her - if you want to go home unharmed. She has strange powers. — Ed Kennedy, the lazy veteran programmer. He expends far more energy avoiding work than working. — Carolina Lopez, web guru. She's smart and pretty and she knows it. Bilingual, and her second language isn't Klingon. — Kathy Moon, Roy's girlfriend, and fellow geek. Their relationship has its ones and its zeroes, but it's a real love. — Sal Bandi, a weasel: he's not good with people or machines, so of course he's in customer service. — Andrew Norton, graphic designer, office cool guy. Good with people; not so good with computers. — Sue Smith, tech writer and office busybody. Jealous that others have more power or are more popular. — Medusa, the gorgon, who also works for MacroMicroMedia. She can turn you to stone with her glare. Don't annoy her. — CJ Rapps, an intern. She was once the favorite niece of the CEO, but he's since left, so she's on her own. — Elena Belloff, a professional hypnotist hired by Rita to motivate the staff. — Lila Powers, Dana's mother, and more dangerously powerful. She had a crush on Ed but got bored with him. — Mrs. Jenson, an elderly woman working in the archives. Nobody remembers to whom she reports, so they're stuck with her.
