Discord.py how to have my bot show an activity without the "Playing"

So I'm making a discord.py bot, and I want to make a custom status. My code is:

workingstate = discord.Game( "Off sorting books" )
idlestate = discord.Game( "At the front desk" )

But when I check the bot, it show the status as:

"Playing At the front desk" or "Playing Off sorting books"

I tried:

workingstate = discord.Game(
    type=discord.ActivityType(-1),
    name="nothing, off sorting books" )

idlestate = discord.Game(
    type=discord.ActivityType(-1),
    name="at the front desk" )

But it doesn't show any status anymore.

How can I make my status simply "At the front desk"?

Thanks for all your help!

That is currently not possible as that endpoint (Custom Status) was not made available to bots, only normal users. Sorry :/
