So it turns out that Belinda, the Chair of my Department, has known this entire time that I was assigned a lower salary than my male colleague who was hired at the same time with me. This entire time, she has been fighting to get me a fair, merit-based salary. And she succeeded! Thanks to Belinda and our new Dean (who, by all accounts, is a hundred times better than the previous Dean we had), I now have a fair salary that will be paid back to me retroactively.
It's a wonderful feeling to know that the Chair of your department cares about her colleagues so much. This blog is still unknown to the members of my department, so I can express my love and gratitude to our wonderful Belinda without it looking like I'm brown-nosing.
I ♥ Belinda!

Hi Clarissa,
It's funny that I've been looking over my shoulder for you on campus since I discovered that we were in the same department. How come our paths never crossed?
Just today, I looked at the woman who shared my office suspiciously because I didn't know her name and I thought she was you! :) I'll try to find you tomorrow or before the end of the week.
Thanks for the invite.
Oh, my god, I'm so sorry for the confusion!!! And for the suspicions I caused. :-) We met at our departmental meeting where you taught us to write your name. You can also see my picture that now accompanies the comment. :-)
Interesting.
I can't see the pic though. It's too small and won't open if I click on it.
Will you pls send it to me at kolatubosun@gmail.com?
Thanks.
Just did.
People will think we have an incredibly huge department full of secret bloggers who never manage to meet in real life. LOL
