I met with Anspaugh, and despite my best efforts, he's not giving me the chief position. Not yet, at least. I made a call to Northwestern, toyed with the idea of leaving, but I don't think I can do it. This place grows on you, but then again, so does a tapeworm ( Read more... )

Well, I made it. I'm so exhausted ( Read more... )

That's easy. Jing-Mei Chen. She was one of the few people that I could really talk to at County. But after her dad died, she left, and I didn't chase after her. Some days I catch myself wondering what would've happened if I had tried. I wonder if I could've gotten her to stay ( Read more... )
