But the Cockroach delegation are some of the most kickin' rad party-goers! We always invite them!

Seriously, though, what division did you get assigned to? If you're in mine, I might be able to fast-track you out of boredom and into something useful! Like my new paperwork assistant.

At the moment I am an undersecretary in the Psychotic Narratives department. I assist in creating the self-justifications used by serial killers. The pay isn't great, but it really feels like you make a difference when your story gets repeated back in lurid and sensationalised terms in the papers and true crime programs.
Are these "human rights" in the room with us right now?

Ah, I am in charge of the Emotional Torture and Life Counseling services. It's great, I basically do nothing all day but sign paperwork and occasionally take part in a session. If you want to transfer, you should hit me up! I've got some positions opening up in the future that offer a great chance for advancement. Especially if you like playing with psychos.

I signed the forms in blood (in triplicate, seems bureaucracy gets everywhere) and when I woke up after passing out from blood loss I had been changed to a fully-fledged dark witch.

The 9000 pages of forms were mostly to drive you crazy, not due to any bureaucracy. We only keep a copy of page 5,237 on file. The rest is shredded the next day.

My last two places of employment are denying that I ever worked for them. Funny, since I have W-2s from both.
