Death by Form 16.7a, I'll see you in heaven for bureaucrats.
I think there should be a ticker for red tape, you know. A big sign up in the Ministry Entrance saying 'WE HAVE NOW REACHED 200 MILES OF RED TAPE THIS WEEK! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!' or something similar. It would boost morale, encourage us to be more difficult and bureaucratic! Hurray!
Then again, if we wanted such a ticker, there'd have to be forms signed in triplicate, a health and safety analyis done, have to get expenses forms signed left and right, then make sure that the guy fitting it was also the guy bringing it, as one of them has a Form 9b, whereas he'd require a Form 10c to actually FIT the damn thing...
What is WITH all these forms? Merlin, I'm only trying to get a day or two off work. What the hell does 'illness to efficiency differential' mean? Or 'Do you live in a council house by the river, unless you're blind, but don't have a dog...' WHAT? I blame you Umbridge. Incidentally. Check your top drawer. I gave the troll a haircut. He's a touch more anatomically correct, now.
Gah. Ministry. Gah. Molly. Gah. Two more kids.
All in the space of next week, perhaps. Possibly. Don't be late, dudes, I can't take much more of this.
