3/20: bureaucratic non-hurdle

One of my advisees at school needed an exception to an administrative rule, and I was in the best position to propose the exception and then route the request. I expected that the whole thing might take a week of email exchanges and explanations. But it didn't. It took half an hour. My student now has her exception, and I had the pleasant surprise of bureaucratic smoothness late on a Friday afternoon. A good way to end the work week.
