Administrative Note

If you -- yes, you -- are on a committee that requires you and six other colleagues to review materials which have been collected into a dossier by the departmental secretary in accordance with Her Instructions?

...and you are planning on the other five members of the committee to Behave Like Adults and review the materials sometime before the actual morning of the meeting in which these materials are to be discussed?

...and four other colleagues have the same plan?

You Are Screwed.

Also?

This situation is in no way the fault of the departmental secretary.

Thank you.
