As we vacate our former offices, we're giving away lots of furniture to other campus departments. One office manager who'd asked for some shelves called and left a message asking if this morning would be a good time to send a "lieutenant" over to pick them up. I thought that was a rather interesting and colorful way to refer to her assistants, until I called back and the phone was answered by "Lieutenant X." It was, of course, the Military Science Department, and I'd just failed to put two and two together!
