The End of This Chapter

Hi Again

It's been a while since I've posted here. A couple of years ago, I thought I was going to continue this project in the midst of an otherwise incredibly busy lifestyle. That never happened, and here I am years later beating myself for not doing it. It's ok though...It happens. 

What now?

While I could divulge a lot of details of the past couple of years, I'll have that saved for another time, with another name. When that time comes, it'll be under my real name. 

I'll be returning back to blogging, however, it's become apparent to me in the course of my career that my return to writing has to be back in my own name, recounting my stories, building my thought leadership, and building a digital track record that will ultimately help me in the medium-future.

I look fondly on this era, it was a time where I just wanted to get my thoughts out there for my enjoyment. I wanted to finally have a reason to turn my notebook scribbles into something more meaningful, and that mission was accomplished.

Most of the people who read this blog may not know who I am behind the pen name, and that's fine. I won't give that away today either. I hope my writing has enough character that you can pick it up by stumbling upon it. Everything will still be up, and my other accounts will also stay online. They will just remain inactive going forward.

I'll be on Substack exclusively going forward primarily for professional reasons. The topics of my writings will be more about thoughts and stories from my life as an executive in my respective industries.

Mandates and the Madness of Middle Managers

  Premise It’s been almost two years since COVID19 pandemic containment and quarantine protocols began in the United States. Since the protocols such as masking and travel restrictions began, I’ve had the luxury of traveling and living between two areas of the country that have had completely different attitudes levels of strictness from the very beginning. The first is a suburb of a large metropolitan area on the east coast (Metroburb), and the second is a medium sized town approximately 60 miles away from the metropolitan suburb (Medtown). As I’ve been about my business in both of these two areas without a mask for a very long time, only in Metroburb have I been actively harassed for not having a mask. To recount my experiences in Metroburb over the past 6 months: 2 x kicked out of a store for not having a mask 2 x followed by employees urging me to put a mask on 2 x cashiers refusing to accept my payments without a mask 1 x employees debate me on mask wearing 1 x people taking p...

A Different Framework for Determining Human Rights

 Originally Written: 05/31/2019 Premise I had a conversation with a couple of my co-workers about a week before the time of this writing on the topic of child support. Although it revolved around whether or not child support should even exist in the first place, I found myself to be really uninformed on the topic. What proceeded after that discussion was a quick google search that led me to this quote from the Wikipedia page on child support: “The 1992 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is a binding convention signed by every member nation of the United Nations and formally ratified by all but the United States. It declares that the upbringing and development of children and a standard of living adequate for the children's development is a common responsibility of both parents and a fundamental human right for children, and asserts that the primary responsibility to provide such for the children rests with their parents.” I found this interesting as the de...

COVID19: Tales from the Field

  Premise Throughout the pandemic, there have been a small collection of strange cases or phenomenon that I have been taking notes on, but do not really exist in the literature. Some with an academic or questioning personality may approach such a blog post with a lot of skepticism. To try and alleviate this, I’ll provide some details about myself that should help with the legitimacy of my hearsay. I’m a mid-career scientist at a large research organization on the Eastern half of the United States. I previously worked in neuroscience, but I now work on clinical trials related to HIV and COVID19. We currently work on four clinical trials on COVID19, and two of them involve us reaching out to local hospitals in our region for current cases of COVID19. Our other two studies involve people who have recently recovered from COVID19 as we follow them over time. In other words, just trust me, bru.
