  • New preprint website

    I found another website that allows sharing of papers that are for publishing. I joined today to try it out – I have a new account at Research Square (https://www.researchsquare.com/). I uploaded my marketing paper (mentioned in my recent post https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2026/02/update_10.html) for review. It is currently in prescreening status. I saw that the preprint will… Continue reading

  • This Saturday

    This Saturday I did not do much. There are issues all around. For a pick-me-up, I had mangoes and some other good stuff. Yes, food can make a difference on days like this. Mangoes make me think of Guyana and the Caribbean. The mangoes I had looked and tasted like the long mango. It has… Continue reading

  • Remembering a vacation

    Today I remember my vacation time in Georgia many years ago (my second trip to Georgia since living in the United States). I enjoyed the drive there (from Maryland). I also enjoyed my time there. It felt like a vacation – I stayed at hotels, I spent some time exploring the local area, and so… Continue reading

  • Update

    Today is not going well. I made a few calls to try to get transportation to go to appointments, but the result was not as expected. It seems that the only way to make upcoming appointments is to pay for a cab or Uber to take me there. I am currently reading one of my… Continue reading

  • Water issue

    I am better today after a mess yesterday. I am not certain whether a pipe broke or something disconnected but there was water gushing out from an area to form a stream on the floor. I am also not certain what led to the issue. Maybe it is related to the snow and frigid temperatures.… Continue reading

  • Update

    I am dealing with a lot. It was a very eventful day yesterday and today has issues. Yesterday I straightened out a problem with appointments. I am not sure how that happened. I think I relied on my phone too much. We now have plumbing issues at our house. I am also dealing with transportation… Continue reading

  • About that paper…

    Last time I worked on my compensation paper, I finished rewriting the research problem and got to the quantitative model. I do not want to change the model much (from my school paper). I need to work on it some more. Continue reading

  • Sharing

    There is much sharing on the internet. There is the sharing of personal experiences in blogs, on platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and X, on websites, and more. Even the daily writing prompt involves sharing personal information and experiences. A lot of people respond to the daily writing prompt. I like to review what’s out… Continue reading

  • Post

    I saw a lot of negative posts about LinkedIn recently. People are complaining that the platform is no good anymore. I think the complaints will lead to changes. I do enjoy reading about people’s experiences and lessons in the workplace on LinkedIn. I hope those posts continue. Today, I found a post on developing the… Continue reading

  • Snow day

    Just as expected, there is a lot of snow out there! I believe schools and offices are closed today. Usually, I would be out there clearing the snow. I cannot. We will pay someone to clear the snow. That is how it is sometimes in this neighborhood. Continue reading

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.
