Office Space

If you watch Office Space (or I'm sure any other movie) enough times, you begin to detect certain nuances you might not catch in the first two or three views.  One I remember clearly is the first time I noticed what Michael Bolton was doing in the Chachki's scene near the beginning of the movie.  Notice that the entire time him, Peter and Samir are in there, he never once picks up his cup of coffee and drinks it.  No, he spends the entire time just tearing sugar packets and dumping the sugar into his cup!

Another thing that always bothered me (until I figured it out!) is this: in the scene where Peter's sleeping in on Saturday and ignoring all of Lumbergh's messages, he finally does get up, the phone rings, and it's Ann on the other line.  She wants to know why he's not at work like he's supposed to be.  Question -- although we can gather that he probably told her in between the time he leaves the office on Friday and they go to see the therapist, he was being forced to work on Saturday...why's she calling him at home if she thinks he's at work?  The altruistic side of me would say she wanted to let him know about something, decided not to disturb him at work, and was just going to leave him a message on his answering machine.  But, as events show, Ann's not exactly the sensitive type. 

My theory's that Lumbergh, after his 17 attempts at reaching Peter, finally tried to find out what happened to him by calling Ann.  And how pray tell would he happen to have Peter's girlfriend's phone number?...
