Does this sound crazy to anyone else?
Yes. Possibly technically correct in some sense, but definitely crazy.

I like her low profile
She DOES have a pretty low profile, you're right. I haven't seen her in much.
Huh, she was in GoldenEye ?

Shari, how are your kids possibly old enough for a FAFSA? No help, though, since I haven't seen one since the 90s.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, she has a long resume. She just doesn't parade her life around much.
In GoldenEye she played a really crappy Russian lounge singer. It was quite funny.

Yes.
I mean, we're no longer allowed to have food at most meetings either, but that's just because our entertainment budget was slashed.

I think someone just got mixed up as to why they couldn't have food. I just read the IRS publication on fringe benefits, and it pretty clearly states that occasional "meals" were not taxable, however if the meal was provided to you daily (like a restaurant that sits everyone down to a meal) it is.

Someone told my boss that the university is no longer allowed to provide food for meetings that involve staff, because the food is a taxable benefit for the employee and would have to be noted in our paycheck. Does this sound crazy to anyone else? (I also just came from a meeting that had food)
If you expense meals that's generally counted towards your taxable income. But I've never heard of that applying to something like that.

The tax stuff sounds crazy, but we're not allowed to have any catering unless there's at least one person attending from outside gov't.

This is why pregnant women should not go grocery shopping hungry - my lunch today is Stouffer's mac & cheese and chocolate pudding. And I bought some hummus and bagel chips and fruit salad for later.

My former housemate has free food available to him everyday at the office. I highly doubt he is taxed on it.
Also, how would you even do that? What about someone that didn't take food? Or someone that took more than average? That sounds like an accounting nightmare. Unless it's like that bogus Internet tax in NY that just assumed you did x amount of ordering online so they charged sales tax on it.
