I am reorganizing my files. In my first computer I had a folder called jobmat, i.e. Job Materials, because I was a dissertator on the job market. It was for my vita and all materials for job applications. I had this folder for a long time, but it later morphed into two: one for annual … More Jobmat
I am again mortally offended, and it comes from another quarter. One cannot and should not defend against unfounded accusations, is what I have decided.
