Character overview
Tim is an affable 30-year-old underachiever who still lives with his parents. He went to university for a year before dropping out, but hopes to go back and finish a psychology degree some day. Tim feels listless and uninspired at Wernham-Hogg, but is too afraid of failure to take action. He amuses himself by flirting with the lovely blond receptionist, Dawn Tinsley, and playing constant pranks on his office nemesis, Gareth Keenan.
