“Transforming into an Administrative Jekyll for a certain amount of time every day limits the amount of time my Creative Hyde can come up with content to market and sell. Luckily, amphetamines have that problem tackled as well: when you’re using them, you don’t have to sleep… at all.”

For more than a decade, the employees of a Washington think tank were traumatized by an unlikely harasser: a career Foreign Service officer.
