Ahhhh, satisfying

So, for the last 3 plus years at work, I've been supporting this mediocre software that supports a pretty useful purpose. Unfortunately, while it made me a lot of internal contacts, my management all but ignored my team, and couldn't figure out what to do with us. It also led to a fair amount of grief, as I had some pushy ass customers, and ( Read more... )

In reference to footnote 0: Ooh, ooh! Is it like Changeling: The Dreaming? You needed to get out of the office before your Changeling side totally died? I like Changeling!

So, what are your plans, then? Taking classes, yes. But where will you work? Will you work at home?

I haven't shown Robert the e-mail you sent me. But I'll just show him the website you pointed out on Monday.

What's the big deal with getting a clearance, anyway? Will you be able to go absolutely anywhere with a clearance? I'm technically with the Navy working for their youth center and I still don't know anything about that.

Errr, mostly I made an unintentional gaming reference, and thought I'd make a funny. So yeah, I used the White Wolf naming scheme for their World of Darkness games, since when I gamed often, their games were mostly what I played. Other than that, I never really got into Changeling so much, and preferred Vampire or Werewolf ( ... )

But Changelings is about faeries! Not parasitic vampires or smelly old wolves! FAIRIES!

Sorry, I misunderstood the entry, it sounded like you quit. My bad.

I see. So clearence is needed to work on the really fun projects.

Precisely why I never really got into Changeling. I want more dark, baby stealing action out of my fae.

And clearances are needed for government projects classified as secret, top secret, etc. These days, more and more information is done that way, and they can't keep up with the clearance process, so anyone who has one is in hot demand.

I don't know if the work is more exciting or not, as I've heard anything from it's no different than what I do to the fact that it's actually so locked down that it's frustrating and kind of boring. I guess it depends on the project. Regardless, it means a lot of job security and more money, as long as you don't mind the government having its eyes on you at all times.
