Four images of a life size Hello Kitty in an office having a difficult time with work life. In the top left image, Hello Kitty is pointing a gun at a computer screen while wearing blue headphones. The top right corner shows Hello Kitty swinging a mallet in an office and breaking furniture. The bottom left image has Hello Kitty waving a shovel threateningly. Finally, the bottom right image is Hello Kitty pouring a liquid onto a computer. It is not clear if it is water or gasoline.
