Yes, one of the benefits of being retired is not hearing the bragadocious boastings emanating from the advertising department, mostly Tyler, who drives a Corvette so everyone assumes he was probably their best salesperson, although actually I do not want to know or think too much about what goes on over there in terms of the wheeler-dealer aspects of how they negotiate with the advertisers. As long as I was getting paid, I was fine with whatever they do over there that keeps the company financially afloat. Probably Tyler would not be able to do my job either, but I was not planning to scale the wall between advertising and editorial. It just would not be worth the effort, and even less so now that the digital age has made print almost obsolete, not worth mentioning.
