Question 3 of your FAQs:

What happened to Ursiline?
Adding to the corporate cultural quirks, no AT&Ter asked the question for the answer is a given.

That's because during AT&T's heyday in the 90's there were over 120,000 employees in the state of New Jersey.* NJ's not a huge state. Think of how many buildings were required to house that many people. Think of Holmdel, the huge monolithic AT&T Labs building where you could line two football fields up in its atrium. The football fields don't even count for the offices that branched out from the atrium.

The building was so huge that newcomers to that building would park their car on one end of the building not realizing the person's office they were visiting was on the other side of the building. After the meeting, looking for a fast exit out of the dark and deary place, the person would rush to the closest exit then spend a half an hour in the wrong parking lot looking for their car. If the golf carted parking security guard didn't notice them, the Holmdel police would call the guard to go pick up the person who called in the 'stolen vehicle' report.

So the answer to the question of Ursiline's current whereabouts is: I have no idea. I would've had a hard time finding her two years after the project with the company splintering in so many ways: mobile, cable, NCR (we bought'em then pushed them off), Lucent Technologies, Avaya..., each with their own 'headquarters' - HR, marketing and R&D to name only a few.

To say I asked a current employee to check the various and asundry directories to find her would mean asking them to put their job on the line. So let's just say hypothetically, she wasn't found.

I googled her. Unlike Cher, the Ursiline I knew didn't come up. I didn't know there were nuns named Ursulines, now I do.

I'd feel bad for her, but know I'm in the same situation. My 'secret' co-worker that gave me the choice of receiving the project cancellation via email or by paper has - over time - occasionally probably wondered what happened to me. In theory he could go back to our old cubicle city, but not only am I long gone but so are you - moves, new positions within the company, retirements and yes ex-employees.

*In time, AT&T would regret this huge concentration of employees for the mere fact of representation. Oh sure, you got both ears of the NJ governor and the state's delegates to Congress, but what interest would the Texas delegation have in talking with you? Sure you have sales offices all over the state, just like IBM, HP, etc. But IBM and HP had administrative offices. More numbers, more votes, more ears. It's true we had lots of central offices for all the networking equipment, but central offices don't vote.
