Why in the name of Chaos would Hades hire Hypnos, god of dreams as his bookkeeper? His title is literally "Sleep Incarnate". And fitting his title, he's a total slacker who's constantly dozing off on the job. Surely there's someone among the underworlds who's more attentive for the role.

* It could be that Hades just wanted Hypnos to have ''a'' job at all, and Bookkeeping seemed to be the best option for him. The rest of the Chthonic gods (well, besides Zagreus, but he is a statistical outlier, and even then he still fills the role of "heir" to Hades' throne) already have jobs, so why not give Hypnos one?
