I worked my fanny off and graduated Summa Cum Laude. I worked there for 13 years, at the Plasma Fusion Center as its Fiscal officer. It was a great job, and I worked with terrific people, but I also worked about 70 hours a week. David and I re-met in 1981 and were married in 1982. He adopted Kasia a few months after our marriage.
Life is good.
I put in a 5 year notice at MIT in 1987, telling them that I planned on trying to get my life back from MIT once Kasia had graduated from College. They never believed me about my five year plan, but they do now. They gave me a great party when I left. I received the MIT Rocker you're supposed to get after 25 years. They also stocked me up pretty well on Bailey's.
