Government Work

Nick never would've called his job with the government glamorous. In fact, after the Great Shift, it got downright boring. Like many others, he was assigned to document any reported changes. Most of the time this meant just sitting in his office on the phone. People would often complain for hours before telling him who they used to be or who they now were (if they even knew the name of the latter). It often didn't seem to matter how much he tried to speed them up; it was just like they wanted someone to listen to their venting. Nick never complained himself. He didn't complain about the difficulty he had adjusting to being female, though many times he wanted to.
