OFFICE POOL: Orientation by DL Blackburne

Office Pool is the coming of age story of an underachieving ink pen named Arthur "Arty" Bickerson. Arty's unique journey is chronicled as he must quickly navigate the vast differences between the complexities of his new life and responsibilities in "The Office" and life on the home desktop.

With humans set as the backdrop, these common everyday writing utensils each with unique personalities deal with family, friendship, success, love, peer jealousy, classism, along with high expectations, greed and self-doubt.
