Dear Gus,

Garver Summit is three days of non-stop work, but I work with some talented folks, so while it’s the hardest part of my job, it’s also the most fun. Here we are at our team kick-off dinner at Packard’s.

Dear Gus,

We had birthday cupcakes at work today for Troy and Luke. I made a joke to everyone about how if we combo’d the event with one more person’s birthday we’d have the three amigos, but no one laughed.

Dear Gus,

The work crew went for a happy hour to celebrate Strack and his fiance, Jessie, who will be getting married next month. Rest assured, I have imparted marital wisdom upon them, so they should be good.

Dear Gus,

Every Monday morning, I have a Marketing Output Meeting, during which we go over all the emails we’ll send, blogs we’ll write, and items we’ll post to social media this week. At this morning’s meeting, Strack discovered the promo View-Master someone brought into the room. I used to have one as a kid that showed different scenes from He-Man or whatever. But this one basically just shows PowerPoint slides, which isn’t nearly as fun.

Dear children,

It’s always polite to ask the sculptures at the museum if it’s okay to take a photo with them. Otherwise, you might get some serious side-eye like Strack is getting here.

Dear children,

Strack demonstrates the Marketing Team’s job at its most simplistic level: Make the engineers look good.
