I know what you're saying and you're correct. But it doesn't feel right and I wouldn't feel good about getting it through this channel.

Tough part here is that you might burn that bridge for the future - even when you truly did earn it.

I got $19.82 , how much of a retainer does that get me?
According to a $400 hourly rate set by @mark23 that comes out to just under 3 minutes. Since billing is typically done in 6 minute increments, it wouldn't meet the threshold required for completing a task. That means you get zero and I'll take your $19.82... at least that's how it probably works in private practice.

I'm prohibited from taking you $19.82 as a matter of law, so you could probably just use it to buy Tchibo Gold and dino nuggies instead.

There's nothing wrong with networking. It's an essential career advancement skill that takes time and attention to develop.

I had something in mind like
Take the entire hour lunch you're entitled to taking and make the effort to talk to people outside of your department or agency. Learn about collaborative opportunities and build professional relationships instead of just billing out as many hours as possible (because that's not how the org is structured). Show up to the retirement parties and make nice with folks. If you interview for an opportunity elsewhere, knowing that one person in the org and getting practical advice can put the opportunity in perspective and help you put your best self forward when it counts most.

I'm not suggesting anything like going in and lying about qualifications or desires. Even selfishly, that makes no sense because it implies that it's not an opportunity that provides satisfaction/longevity when a candidate lies to get an offer. That's called dishonesty, not taking advantage of available opportunities.

This would probably work anywhere else...

You do remember where I work???
