I'm recalling a Dilbert cartoon strip where Alice has yet another project assigned on top of her already overflowing schedule... she suddenly comes to the realisation that she can't possibly succeed and this in fact gives her immediate release... she realises that no matter what she does the end result will be the same... even if she does nothing at all Then they go into a meeting where the pointy-haired boss says he need someone to do a chair inventory... Dilbert suggests, "Sounds like a job for Alice"
