The story
He had been promoted three weeks ago after a clerical error in HR misfiled his application under 'Primate Liaison – Senior'. No one noticed. He learned to mimic the nod, the sigh, the sideways glance at the clock. Today, the tea went cold again. He stared at the quarterly projections, which were just doodles of bananas and arrows. The cleaning lady paused at the door, saw him, and left a banana on the desk. He did not eat it. It was not on the agenda.
The brief
A baboon in a slightly too-large navy blazer sits upright on a swivel chair behind a cluttered mahogany desk, one paw resting on a stack of upside-down reports, the other holding a cold cup of tea, under the flat glow of a single overhead fluorescent tube in a windowless office with beige walls and a faded motivational poster that reads 'Synergy is Key'.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
