The story
The oropendola had earned three degrees in avian economics and was fluent in four dialects of nest-weaving, yet here it sat, stapling TPS reports for a corporation that manufactured decorative birdhouses. It had not flown south in seven winters, not because it could not, but because the dental plan was excellent. Outside, a real oropendola laughed as it wove a sack-like nest, utterly unimpressed by the human concept of promotions.
The brief
An oropendola in a tiny business suit stands rigidly before a miniature filing cabinet in a sunlit attic office, its bright yellow feathers dulled by the fluorescent glow, surrounded by stacks of unopened memos and a single drooping plant.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
