¿Hasta cuándo?


Explanation:
¿Hasta cuándo?

¿Hasta cuándo vamos a contestar preguntas de personas cuyas cifras de "Q/A" son "111/0" y similares, como en este caso?

¡Y hay muchos que tienen 200/0 y similares!

¿No creen que es perjudicial para todos los traductores que personas que no están capacitadas para hacer un trabajo lo puedan sacar adelante apoyándose en la benevolencia (por no decir ingenuidad) de los que contestamos los Kudoz?

Los foros se llenan de quejas de que las tarifas son cada vez más bajas y no nos damos cuenta de que somos nosotros mismos los que generamos gran parte del problema.

¡NO MÁS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sin tener más contexto, o esta gente a su oficina de administración le llama así por una peculiaridad suya, o están hablando de una oficina donde se les puede dar información a los estudiantes de ultimo año sobre solicitar ingreso a universidades. Eso normalmente se llama \"Counselors\' Office\". La verdad es que necesitabamos más información.

Background info - not for points - university application office


Explanation:
pastelito, I have the solution to the puzzle. Stuyvesant is a high school, but the "college office" is an office in the high school for senior high school students who want to attend a university. So the "college office" is a university application office.

---
Hordes of desperate souls packed into an enclosed space, clawing for a spot on line. No, this isn’t a Depression-era bread line. It’s a typical autumn day in the Stuyvesant college office.

The fall semester is notorious for its whirlwind of applications, SATs, transcripts, and anxiety attacks for seniors, and this year is no different. The college office is busy from the start of the day to the end, filled with nervous seniors and their transcripts. Although the college office is meant to help seniors decide what college to apply to and to provide support during a very trying experience, many seniors complain about the way the college office is run and organized.
