I don't know about offices but to paraphrase Yogi Berra, 'nobody don't know nothing'.

So, you reference Charles Bukowski, and nobody knew what you were talking about.

Ten years or so ago I was producing an off-Broadway play, 'The City Club'. We were doing an initial table read with the cast. One of them said, 'Why did you call it The City Club?"

I said, "I wanted to call it Xanadu but that had already been taken."

The 20 or so 20 somethings sitting around the table looked at me blankly.

I said, "In Xanadu did Kublai Khan a stately pleasure dome decree, where Alph the sacred river ran past caverns measureless to man down to the deep blue sea."

They all looked at me blankly.

I said, "Samuel Taylor Coleridge."

They all looked at me blankly.

And that my friend is the product of a modern American education.
