There's certainly no love lost between me and the company with which I last enjoyed full time employment. I have no problem owning what contributed to my dismissal, because I'm sure that Depression and ADD, as well as my poor ability (at the time) to cope with two issues I didn't fully understand, were a major factor in my getting shit-canned ( Read more... )

Haven't heard from the other Harvard Faculty Members. Then again, this is a busy time of year over their way, so I'm not sweating it much. I also had money in my possession from my days as Managing Editor of Harvard Asia Quarterly which I discovered a while back and never got around to contacting them.

The last few years have been a major struggle. It's only been in the last year, plus a month or two, that I've truly been able to be mobile in mind, body and spirit. In a way, I've been trying as much as possible to rebuild my life in an area were it's becoming more impossible by the month to make that happen. I do not mean from a social ( Read more... )

I've been a bad girl today. Unfortunately I haven't earned a spanking, so all you eager ladies and gents out there will have to contain yourselves. I really and truly meant to get more of The Search for Modern China read today. Instead, I spent a good portion of my day fucking around. I started reading this morning, but kept falling asleep.
