Strategies at ATI
“Ye cannot be all things to all people.” - Captain
Bob
The ATI managers suddenly found themselves back in their own boardroom,
about to resume their meeting.
Deborah started the conversation off. “It felt so good to
get into the shower when I got home. Those pirate clothes stunk!”
"Just imagine sleeping in that cramped ship, on piles of
wet canvass, among thirty or so snoring pirates, on the deck, or

“Not for me,” replied Valerie. “I will never
see anything romantic in sailing ships again. Even as short
as I am, I can’t imagine working below the deck. We would
be banging our heads all day long.”
“And the food,” added Deborah. “I saw one of
the officers knocking a biscuit against the mast. There was a worm
on it. He proceeded to eat it after knocking the worm off it. Can
you imagine?”

Bob.
