Denmark, Slovenia, Italy....HYGGE! But it’s not here now

Denmark is my discovered HYGGE. What is wrong with me?  Why is this happening to me now? And how did a few creepy set of interactions in late afternoons come to the end of my career. I tried my best to be respectful to a senior professor and tried not to jeopardize my job or be touched when I did not want to be touched. He leaned hard into me. I did not know how to make it stop AT WORK AT MY OFFICE! Oh my god! And I sought help from several. But the interactions kept coming predictably in an inpredictable way. And finally it ended except on special events that I would find ways to not attend. And so it was over when I moved north. It was over. I could do all I needed to do with dignity and respite for those I serve and teach. Finally over.

But it happened again. And again. And again. And again. Is that 8 times?

It was enough! ..... my friend insisted. And so I thought about it. I came forward as a witness to what has been going on for over twenty years! Women and harassment an ongoing cocktail mixed openly but forbidden to ever ever fix it. But I stepped forward with a voice to fix it.

So here I am. Career destroyed. Fulbright mangled. My mental health shaken. The institution with too much money and no oversight by voters. The acts are similar to Siem Reap, Manila and Chicago. Too much money, too much privacy and too much power to destroy to keep viable.

A forced resign with more poison added but kept under wraps until after Sarah gets her misguided papers. Someone help! The real papers will be placed after Monday. They are wrong and silence with pay. And it’s corrupt.
