Tim took the job because it was a chance to be around other people. He felt isolated working from home. In his mind, work would be just like those television shows where everyone was witty and attractive. He might even meet a lovely woman at the job. They might go for a drink after work and he would impress her with his extensive knowledge on the operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan.
