My Amadeus - Joseph II moment.

In Amadeus, Emperor Joseph II praises Mozart, and then tells him that his opera has too many notes, to which, Mozart queries as to which notes he should remove.

I was told to move a counter so that it's 15 feet from the front, yesterday -- all of 17 inches.  It wasn't a discussion about the pros and cons of space management and organization in one part of the scheme, just that the counter had to move so that it was 15' from the entrance.

I know it's not a perfect match, but the feeling is just the same.
