Bureaucratic Masturbation

noun - 1. Engaging in any activity for the sake of making one feel better about themselves, their organization, or their company without actually accomplishing anything. 2. Holding meetings to provide recommendations only to have management do what they wanted in the first place. 3. Holding special work group meetings to make the 'little people' feel ownership, when the decision has already been made by higher levels of management.

My boss has picked me to suffer through more Bureaucratic Masturbation, representing the department on a policy work group.
I spent the last 3 months researching the best candidate for the position and the Boss picked his pet employee anyway. God I hat Bureaucratic Masturbation!

bureaucrastasy

The transient feeling of ecstasy derived from finally overcoming the obstacles put in your way by bureaucrats – which only lasts until you think about how much of your time & money they’ve wasted.

After three Civic Building Inspectors and an independent engineer’s report, I felt pure bureaucrastasy at finally receiving the permit to add a sundeck onto my back porch.

bureaucratic bullshit

The state of which that procedure becomes more of a hindrance to a cause than the original cause.

Bureaucromancy

A practice of divination based on the outcome of the random and indeterminate bureaucratic process.

Applying for any number of different programs, jobs, or schools, knowing that where you are accepted or offered a position will determine the course of your life from that point onwards, thereby allowing the fates to decide your, um, fate.
"I am torn between moving out of town or staying here. After the ancient rites of bureaucromancy have been performed, I shall be informed of my destiny, most likely by a form letter."
