The weather bureaucracy is losing track of the rain amidst the umbrellas. A Kafkaesque nightmare is now extending beyond the pages of fiction.
The national weather announcement department, in a remarkable Kafkaesque twist, announced yesterday that it had lost track of precipitation due to the overwhelming paperwork related to umbrellas. Although this news may seem absurd, it perfectly illustrates the monumental flaws in the current meteorological system and highlights a deep crisis in the way administration functions.
“We have so much paperwork, permit applications, and reports of lost items related to umbrellas that it has become impossible to track where it is actually raining,” said an official from the department on condition of anonymity. “It has become easier to trace a lost umbrella than to know where it is actually raining. It’s total chaos!”
The situation has reached such a level of absurdity that the department has hired a special team to sort through the umbrella-related documents in order to distinguish those linked to actual weather incidents. Yet, this team seems to be struggling to find any sense in the Kafkaesque chaos of paperwork. “It’s almost impossible to tell if an umbrella was lost because of the rain, or if the rain has become an excuse for losing an umbrella,” said a sorting team member, looking visibly perplexed.
A false quote is circulating in this regard: “In fact, it seems that the rain itself has gotten lost in the paperwork.” This quote, although untrue, perfectly encapsulates the ironic paradox in which the department finds itself. The current situation not only underscores the administration’s inability to effectively manage the tasks assigned to it but also its tendency to get lost in unnecessary details, thus creating a Kafkaesque nightmare for those who must navigate this labyrinth of paperwork.
