I always found it interesting that the first thing Gregor Samsa worries about when he finds himself transformed into a giant insect is his job and the fact that he will be late to work. Even though he has never been late in seven years, he fears that this one late morning will jeopardize his career. And sure enough, when he is not on time his boss arrives at the door questioning his parents as to why Gregor is not at the office. Unfortunately, our workplace standards have fallen down a few pegs in recent times. I'm sure there even exists a few employees who would more than welcome being transformed into a giant insect, because not only is this an excuse which cannot be refuted by the boss, reality tv would absolutely love it."Watch Steve Brooke on "This Bug's Life" cope with his sudden transformation into a giant insect as he goes on his first date in four months. Will Andrea be able to see past his appearance or will she be repulsed and try to crush him with her shoe?! Stay Tuned!"
In an age where every individual aspires to be god like in their individuality ad nauseum... being transformed into a giant insect would definitely have its benefits. At the least it would separate one from the crowd.
