Its so sad!
This "busy work" is so pointless. Yet, the annual report will show another 12 hours or so!
If you get the chance, try and implement the suggestion that Pale.Emperor (I Think it was) mentioned on this forum a few weeks back:
Ask them a series of questions after some small talk:

"ok, so what would be the thing or point that you have an issue with or that troubles you about your religion?"
