The anti-red tape!

It just occurred to me, upon helping someone out with a weird bureaucratic grant issue, is that one of the many reasons I like my job is that we do a lot to help people either navigate or avoid annoying bits of red tape.

I just found out where the phrase 'red tape' came from the other day. (from the West Wing of course). Fascinating!

Strangely enough, that's how I felt working in the giant state-school bureaucracy as a petty paper-shuffler. "We're all in this together, kid."

To be honest, if I had a job where I did that, I think I could sleep peacefully at night and wake up without dread.
