dredgery 

Academic, archival research in which menial drudgery take the form of slogging through (or dredging) all sorts of uninteresting stuff intending to find, say, a laundry list proving that Einstein or Michelangelo or Barbra Streisand was really a woman, but which never yields such a nugget of inspiration.
Larry failed to proved Beatrix Potter gave birth to Harry, so his afternoon of searching in the Hall of Records was pointless dredgery.

"quadruple-p" drudgery 

Refers to the boring/laborious --- not to mention demeaning --- every-few-months routine that a responsible and caring-about-his-public-image person needs to perform on his on-line profile-pages. Standing for Periodic Profile-Perusing/Purging, it involves occasionally going to your own profile and carefully scanning the comments/tags that others have posted there, and then deleting any posts that are either in poor taste or verbally attack your personal character.
I always try my best to treat others right, but unfortunately there are plenty of nosy/overzealous cyber-bully a**h**es out there who like to find fault and berate me for stuff that I either can't even help or certainly did not mean to be hurtful to anyone (and even if someone actually DOES think that he may have a legitimate gripe/concern, why not just SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE ABOUT IT, rather than slamming me publicly?!??). So I gotta endure a round of "quadruple-p" drudgery a few times a year, just to make sure that any decent folks who read my profile don't get the wrong idea about me.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
