Kafkaesque nightmare

Had one of those last night. I was in a giant open plan office, so full of people that not everyone had desks, but some were sitting on the floor. Due to the immense heat generated by the overcrowding, several massive fans were attached to the ceiling, which was painted black. At one point a senior manager came in to make an announcement, but people just kept on doing what they had been doing, because they couldn't hear him with the noise from the fans anyway. Some people even got up and walked out. I was given a job to do but I had no information on how to do it.

My first dream about being a civil servant. Even my subconscious acknowledges that it's inefficient and pointless and completely shit unless you have your own office. I am becoming institutionalised.

And unemployable anywhere else.
