Saturday, November 29, 2008. Not your usual Friday night. Last night I did one crazy thing and one despicable thing. More to come. But I will say that I was right about this. And wrong about that.

Monday, February 02, 2009. Today, 16 months after I began work as a corporate lawyer, I paid off the last of my law school loans. Over $80,000 I owed my law school and the U.S. government are now off my books. I am in the black. I'm early. I originally planned for this to take 2 years. 104 weeks. 730 days. There's a line from an Eliot poem that I only know because in college, BC had it printed out and stuck on her wall: "But our beginnings never know our ends! Posted by hk at 8:27:00 AM.

Sunday, October 21, 2007. After eating the catered food, we did a quick review of who was working on what. It's slow these days, as I mentioned before. I don't think there's much of a chance of the firm letting people go, but who knows? It's been known to happen during recessions, and there's been a lot of talk about recessions lately. I almost said, "You're kidding, right? But caught myself and asked, "Uh. how do I do that? That's the Firm way," she said. Whatev. The senior associate observes Saturd...

Tuesday, February 09, 2010. I took things into my own hands since my last entry, nearly six months ago. Tired of the punishing work cycle of M&A, and desperate to leave, I approached the partner I used to work for, in the department I used to work for, and asked if I could come back. He made it happen. Just like he made my six-month period in Hong Kong happen a year before. It's terrible to live that way. So I come back to the question, never far from my mind: What next? The me I want to be? The me who w...

Ramblings of a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Engineering. Wednesday, July 13, 2005. Yo, G - I'm not that sad. This is so you don't have to look at my last, somewhat sad, self-pitying post. What is Mary short for? Wait for it.). She's got no legs! Terrible, I know, but hey. For examples of making everything seem cool and avant garde). So, I'll probably be posting a lot less, and only if something truly interesting happens. Posted by Professor B at 9:53 PM. Boston, Massachusetts, United States.

Wednesday, April 30, 2003. Wait, Are You Really SARS? Pears that the SARS patient might just have pneumonia. Hope so. I have heard from more than one person that Koreans are naturally resistant to disease because of all the garlic they consume. Does that mean that Italians are naturally impervious too? I'm from Russia," she explained today, when I told her I'd marveled at her winter outfits. Posted by hk at 8:00:00 AM. Tuesday, April 29, 2003. Well, it's here.

Sunday, February 15, 2009. Side Effects: Winter Solstice, 2008. She came on the shortest, darkest day of the year, a cold, snowy, wintry day in Tacoma, in the middle of a series of fierce snowstorms that paralyzed the area for weeks. Rage contorted her lined face, mussed her soft dyed brown hair with the gray roots, turned her smiling mouth into an ugly thing, a grimace twisted with hatred. The rage gave her a voice, gave her the words to curse her husband. "Goddamn son of a bitch! Give it to me! This pe...

Monday, October 19, 2009. Moments when you wonder. That would include this morning at 2 am, when I was at work for the 11th hour in a row, for the 9th day in a row, and a colleague happened upon me in the hall. I hope you haven't been here for a long time," she said. Since 3 pm," I shrugged. "You? Since 8 pm, but not by choice - we got a document in at that time.". Yeah Mine came in at 4:30. Whatever.". She asked, with wonder and sadness. I need the money! Posted by hk at 8:44:00 AM. Wow Its been so.

Friday, March 21, 2003. Starting tomorrow morning (Sat.), I'm away for about two weeks on vacation, so no new entries til I get back. May the war soon end. Posted by hk at 7:29:00 AM. Thursday, March 20, 2003. It's 2:20 am on Friday, and I'm up this late because I forgot I was going to meet Aya tonight for the last time before she goes back to Japan. But I thought we agreed on Friday, so I was surprised to get a call from her asking where we were meeting tonight. I was actually at the Coex Mall, buyi...
