Commercial transactions all have a point of [[deal fatigue]] — it is more or less linear — at which point everyone goes sod it, forgets about typos, gives preposterous indemnities and just signs the damn contract. | Commercial transactions all have a point of [[deal fatigue]] — it is more or less linear — at which point everyone goes sod it, forgets about typos, gives preposterous indemnities and just signs the damn contract. | ||
By contrast, bureaucratic tasks imposed by [[middle management]] ''cannot reach the point of deal fatigue''. The potential “fatigue curve” for bureaucratic tasks is curved into a new dimension of [[tedial]] [[space-time]] but in flat three dimensional geometry of ''normal'' [[boredom]] is asymptotic. It gets ''close'' — very, ''very'' close — to that line, but never crosses it. Instead, workers are trapped, wrung out and plastered for all infinity at the [[event horizon]] for utter dreck — a [[ | By contrast, bureaucratic tasks imposed by [[middle management]] ''cannot reach the point of deal fatigue''.
