However, what is it exactly that you do for a living????

Someone should ask me an EASY question on Friday afternoon ... mostly, I do whatever they tell me to do, which lately has been putting out fires more often than not.

I get to work with a wide range of entities, including government, industry, and research organizations who have requirements to implement a variety of advanced encryption technologies for the protection of voice/data/video over public and private networks. Most of the entities are international, so we play with all sorts of communications modalities.

Truth to tell, it isn't so much what I do that I dislike, as it is the types of entities that I get to work with these days. My personal/political philosophies are coming into conflict with my need to maintain gainful employment, and this is the root of my overall lack of job satisfaction. I'm trying to move (internally) into a position where I'll be doing Project Management in an entirely different discipline, but so far I haven't had a lot of luck.

Anyway, time to go get some chicken wings to take to the end-of-the-world/hurricane/birthday party at our neighbor's house.

Cheers!
