He works for a crappy little consulting engineering company. He's the geek who sits in his cubicle, mumbling to himself about algorithms, sneering at his co-workers who haven't memorized the logarithmic tables and who need to use calculators. He's the grind that they assign the problems to that are too boring for the others to deal with, knowing that he'll just keep poking at it until it's done, then crow about it. He plods along, blissfully unaware that his colleagues and business associates chuckle behind his pale, flabby back and refer to him as Fluffer.

And he gets paid.
