Question 1 of your FAQs

When hosting a party you should either invite all AT&Ters or no more than a quarter AT&Ters. Mostly because if we talk about work, it's incomprehensible. So don't talk about work? We find it hard not to do, for me even seven years after taking early retirement.

Question 1 of your FAQs: What happened to the journal?
I saw what was supposed to be the finished piece. The 'journal entries' were typed in a handwriting font that third grade teachers would use on posters over their chalkboards to show how to write in script. Each 'entry' was typeset on what looked to be a yellow post-it note that hung at a slant in the margins of the overall brochure. I didn't recognize my writing, which I expected. And I didn't recognize the events 'detailed' which I don't know why I did expect. Including the dates, there were about 250 words used. I hope Ursiline wasn't paid by the word.

At the time it ignited a guessing game for what Ursiline had actually done. I contend that the project actually started as this big journal thing and over the year it got whittled done to six post-it notes. When I think of how many of my projects started big and just dissipated, this is the most viable answer.

Common sense didn't stop other guesses. Guess two was that Ursiline was actually doing a study on how marketing people work and may have submitted the findings as proof of marketing inefficiencies and the need to lay-off marketing people in general.

The third and final guess was that Ursiline had a crush on me.
