About the Book
a fictional diary of the bureaucratic, outrageous, infuriating, hilarious work situations in the Welfare Department. The characters, clients, coworkers, and bosses tend to be bizarre, endearing, or irritating-rather like the TV series OFFICE, but stranger. It also touches on the futility of some bureaucratic innovations.

I was thrilled.
