Advice blogger, soon-to-be-author. You may remember me as CAwkward on that other site, but I have reclaimed my full title and powers! Here to make new internets to push the bad internets down.

  1. My first job out of college in 1996-1997 was arranging USAID-funded study tours/job shadowing/internships/mentoring/long-term academic study for government officials and community leaders from "emerging democracies" to come to the United States, meet their counterparts, and observe how things work.

  3. i put my pants on just like everyone else, only in the event of potential social interaction
