My doctoral advisor was helping me through a problem at the university of some sort. I forget the problem, but I wasn't getting anywhere until he sent me to the *right* admin. He quipped, "The university can survive just fine getting rid of a hundred professors or a dozen deans, but there is a cadre of middle-aged women* who actually know how the university works and if a couple dozen of them left at once, the university would collapse in days."

* and, yes, in the 1980s, it was overwhelmingly women in these roles and the middle-aged ones were the ones with the experience and knowledge that could not be replaced.

It's possible. But I would have to actually do the experiment (which would be against the law BTW) to know. And that's the staggering thing. All the time I've spent here and there in Yosemite, including 4-5 times up the East Buttress and a dozen or so times down the East Ledges and, without going there with a drone and testing, I can't say for sure whether or not that pic is possible to take IRL.

Astounding progress since August

>aged women* who actually know how the university X works

I'll insert here that there's a story here in th3core about the elder woman who ran the Selective Service office using her know-how to keep me (draft lottery #26) from being VietNam war fodder in 1972.

I had to look up the term 'concierge,' as my understanding of the role was clearly off. Fun fact from Gemini

The "Les Clefs d'Or"

You might see a concierge wearing crossed golden keys on their lapels. This signifies they belong to Les Clefs d'Or (The Golden Keys), an elite international network of the world's best concierges. If they have those keys, they have a massive network of contacts to make the "impossible" happen
