Nope (well, maybe, I do not know but that is not the specific movie I was quoting from).

When the line was spoken in the theater I was at I think I was the only person who laughed. It goes by pretty quick.

The line in _Office Space_ is " So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that’s on the worst day of my life."

!00% correct. It was her first film appearance, due to Sir Alec’s insistence that she be given a part.
