Reader: Letter to M: The Darker Time
http://readerwritesmith.blogspot.com/2011/02/letter-to-m-darker-time.html
I am starting to care whether or not I finish my dissertation. Friday, February 11, 2011. Letter to M: The Darker Time. Career: It was pretty much in the bag that I would change careers after the requisite grieving period had passed. I tried, and failed, to tell myself that disaster banking was my fate, but I never believed it. What finally pushed me over the edge was something that had nothing to do with work at all. That boyfriend I always fought with? Labels: its dark in here. Youre only responsible f...

Reader: Letter to M: The Dark Time
http://readerwritesmith.blogspot.com/2011/02/letter-to-m-dark-time.html
I am starting to care whether or not I finish my dissertation. Friday, February 4, 2011. Letter to M: The Dark Time. My plans to move to NYC forestalled, I moved back in with my parents. I lived with them while my mother completed treatment for the recurring cancer, and I got menial temp work so the main focus stayed at home. Then one of my menial jobs offered me a promotion – a whole $24,000 a year. The catch was I had to move to Raleigh, NC, and that meant separation from my mother. More work out loans...

Reader: Educate Me
http://readerwritesmith.blogspot.com/2011/01/educate-me.html
I am starting to care whether or not I finish my dissertation. Saturday, January 8, 2011. Would someone please explain to me what is so great about Google Analytics? I tried to sign up for it, but it appeared. To be telling me that on every single post, I have to plunk in a mile of code. Am I not reading the instructions correctly? Because if they really want me to plunk their special code into every single post. I am not sure I can be their friend. January 8, 2011 at 11:49 AM. What Adam said. xo. Why al...

Reader: Boundaries? Not really.
http://readerwritesmith.blogspot.com/2011/07/boundaries-not-really.html
I am starting to care whether or not I finish my dissertation. Friday, July 29, 2011. I have about seven minutes (perhaps less) to post before I must return to my living room and join my roommate for a back episode of Project Runway. What's that, you ask? Nina has a roommate? Yes Yes, Nina does. LAS. And I are now roommates in New York City. What's that? You think it's really risky to move in with someone you met on the internet? So how are all of you? You should blog more. July 29, 2011 at 10:12 PM.

Reader: 40 hours
http://readerwritesmith.blogspot.com/2011/08/40-hours.html
I am starting to care whether or not I finish my dissertation. Wednesday, August 17, 2011. How do you all regular folks get it done? By regular folks, I mean folks with 40 hour work weeks). I have been unemployed since May, and I have never been busier in my life. And no! Of course, sooner or later, carpet bombing New York City with my resume is going to mean I'll get a job. But when I do, who will take out the trash and sweep the kitchen floor? Who will make the phone calls? I just don't get it. I have ...

Reader: Yes, I care. I care a lot.
http://readerwritesmith.blogspot.com/2011/01/yes-i-care-i-care-lot.html
I am starting to care whether or not I finish my dissertation. Monday, January 10, 2011. Yes, I care. I care a lot. I can't get the snippet of code from Google Analytics to stick to the template of my blog. The error message I am getting is something like the XML code is unworthy or some crap like that. Was it always this hard? The whole problem is enough to make me drink red wine and stuff my face with basmati rice. And if you don't understand that, we really can't be friends anymore. Its dark in here.

I am starting to care whether or not I finish my dissertation. Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Hides Face in SHAME). I can't believe I showed you all three shots of my boobs in a lame attempt to get you to come back to my blog. How. tacky. Other news: I am going to be entering therapy.

Reader: February 2011
http://readerwritesmith.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
I am starting to care whether or not I finish my dissertation. Monday, February 21, 2011. In which I make myself very unpopular. There really is no dignified way to start this post, so I will just say it: I watched porn. Let me explain: I am 41 years old, and it occurred to me recently that I have never seen pornography - not even Playboy. I might have seen a few naked pictures here or there, but basically, I had no experience with the industry and had never "seen" people doing stuff. Given, that I am ab...

Reader: What did I think would happen?
http://readerwritesmith.blogspot.com/2011/01/what-did-i-think-would-happen.html
I am starting to care whether or not I finish my dissertation. Thursday, January 27, 2011. What did I think would happen? When I was 14 I made a BFF pact with a guy who went to a neighboring all boy school (I was in the all girl school; this all made so much sense at the time). We were very close - told each other everything, talked all night on the phone, went to each others proms, etc. Or did we? We can't remember, but there are pictures of us together all decked out for something. Letter to M: College.
