I'm not a bad hand at observation (speaking as someone who will make her career based on spying, lying, and diplomacy, she has to be), if I do say so myself. I'll be happy to lend you some of the relevant records I've kept here-- you'll find a complete rundown of "events" since my arrival and their effects, if any.

Though of course, more than one perspective would be optimal, of course-- have you thought about first person interviews? Or possibly a place to collect anonymous submissions? Some events might be difficult for people to relate in person.
