Birthday

It was my birthday yesterday. I enjoyed the day with family. I had cake, lots of food, and lots of conversation. It is always good to catch up on what’s going on with family and friends. I read some of it on Facebook, but I got a lot more information from conversing.

I received gifts, but didn’t get any birthday freebies. Birthday freebies, which are free items or discounts from companies (such as a free pretzel from Auntie Anne’s or a free scoop of ice cream from Baskin-Robbins) on your birthday, seem to be a “thing.” See more on birthday freebies here:

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.

I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
