...much bureaucracy to wade through; there was quorum this and I hereby second the third motion to consider the fifty-fifth motion of sub-section 47b. And also there were all sorts of enforced meetings at times when nobody really wanted to have meetings for the sake of having a meeting and having an itinerary and free pizza. It was so stupid.

...meet people in the library! Feel no shame! Should Dr. K assume that you're sneaking into the boy's room to take down the digits?

...actually eliminated several small charges over the past five years by folding them into the general costs of going to college here. It seems petty and annoying to see this one charge still broken out; the person paying it (typically a parent) might reasonably say, "For heavens' sake, just tell me what it costs to go to Harvard and stop the nickling and diming...
