ABSTRACT

DENISE SAT DOWN at her desk and picked up her notebook to summarize her takeaways from the call with Maggie. There was a lot to process, and she was having trouble even getting started. She found her mind wandering and suddenly recalled a nightmare she had the night before. She had called a meeting with Joe and Mark, but they had not shown up. She searched all over the assembly area to no avail. Then she heard some laughing and cheering coming from a conference room and entered it to find Joe and Mark and a few of their guys playing poker. As she entered, Mark pointed at her and they all laughed.
