History grad student, junior faculty freak out, academic publishing disaster--it's all here: seven years of angst in academia.

Fulfill the Five Year Plan in four!
I am going to use the tools of socialist motivation to finish my research by May. This is a good idea because I gave a whole lecture on the tools of socialist motivation to my class last summer, so it should be easy to use them on myself.
I think you should use the tools of the socialist state to assure your success. First establish a system of secret courts and citizen informants. And then harass and intimidate your political, economic, and social competitors with trumped up allegations. Finally, have them spirited away in the middle of the night and never seen again. Better keep in line, Matt Matsuda, or you may be next!

Did you see "The Lives of Others" yet? A must see.
OK, check on the system of secret courts and informants! But I wouldn't mess with Matt Matsuda, he has powers.
I haven't seen 'Lives of Others' but it's still playing here and I just might.
