  • BlueSky Account

    It is a rainy day here in Linden. I actually appreciate the rain because it made it much cooler. It has been very hot recently! I signed up for a BlueSky account today. It was super easy to sign up for an account using the link on their website. I am still learning about the… Continue reading

  • BlueSky

     A lot of people are signing up for social media platform BlueSky (https://bsky.app/). I read on LinkedIn that over 1 million people signed up recently. One individual said he signed up for an account because Twitter/X is getting nastier and more exhausting. I went to the site to have a look around. It looked good.… Continue reading

  • Update

     Good afternoon from Linden, Guyana! There have been quite a few developments since I posted last. In the U.S., Trump won the election. There was also a strike by tech workers at the New York Times that caught my attention. It was the first strike by tech workers that I had heard of. This is… Continue reading

  • Difficulties

     My previous post about what a career in finance would have looked like got me thinking about the differences between the finance and IT industries. Right now, the job market for technology jobs is known to be very tough. People are having a difficult time obtaining a job in tech. This follows the layoffs of… Continue reading

  • Finance

    Sometimes I wonder what my career would have looked like had I stayed in finance. Would I have ended up on Wall Street? Would I have gotten a senior management role? It is impossible to know. I do know that I have no regrets about getting into IT. Continue reading

  • Times of Trouble

    Sometimes things go wrong and the unexpected happens. Panicking during such times does not help things. It is better to stay calm and think of the right actions to take. I like how Ken handled his problems in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok_ZCW2JdHc. I watch a lot of Ken’s videos. It was the first time he got into… Continue reading

  • Wishes

    I remember reading stories about the granting of wishes when I was a little girl. I always read the things wished for with interest. But, I always wondered why the person didn’t use one wish to ask for more wishes so that he/she could wish for more things. So, that would be my first wish… Continue reading

  • Career Changes

    My post yesterday reminded me of my early career desires. I recall that one of the reasons I did finance was so I could work for one of the international finance organizations. When I graduated with my master’s degree in finance, I tried unsuccessfully to obtain a job at one of those organizations. I was… Continue reading

  • Career Paths

    Some people are interested in different career paths and somehow end up staying in one line of work their entire career. That is not my story. During my career, I have gone down at least three different career paths. When I started my career I was a finance professional. I had finance jobs such as… Continue reading

    My article on plain language system messages was published in the Plain Language Association International (PLAIN) E-Journal Vol 6 Issue 2. I am very pleased!

ABOUT ME

I am working to be published. In the next few months, I would like to publish my PhD papers as well as lessons from my life.

I am on a break from PhD studies at National University, formerly Northcentral University (NCU). At NU, 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. Usability/user experience is one of my topics. Click on the ‘usability’ label/tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. I have new ideas you may be interested in. 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.  If you are curious about my choices about God, click on the ‘WhyGodForever’ label.

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.
