Screech at the surreal (or is it all too real) world of office politics, putting in time around the water -cooler, waiting for the big eagle’s biweekly dumps (AKA a pay cheque). A merry-go-round of memos and Catch-22s, where the only refuge is the lavatory … and empowerment is a dirty word. A tribute to Ottawa’s hard-working civil servants.
