What is Geoffrey’s job?

Occasionally, when the plot requires that Geoffrey refuses to play Snap or Hide n Seek, he claims he’s trying to get on with his work, or that he has “a lot of work to do today”.

Also, let’s ignore ‘How did Zippy get in that box?’, I can only cope with so much.

I can’t figure out what Geoffrey’s job is supposed to be. You would just assume he was a foster parent, and that’s how he gets money to buy food and clothes for the others (maybe not clothes). But from what I can gather, Geoffrey’s job actually involves looking at some papers that are stapled together, and then being in a bad mood.

Mostly, Geoffrey works from home. However, in this episode he clearly states that he has to go to work. Bungle asks “Can we come to work with you?”, to which Geoffrey replies “No sorry, I have to go to work by myself.”

Theory: Geoffrey isn’t going to work at all – he’s one of those men who pretends to have a job, but really goes and sits in the library all day so their wives won’t find out they don’t have a job. Bungle’s probably the wife.
