Mar. 20th, 2012 11:06 amI am effing up in my actual job left and right today, BUT:
1. I am not doing it in front of my shiny new boss (this makes...seventh or eighth boss I've had in four years, I've lost track) who thinks I know the secrets of the universe;
2. I am not doing it on the research project I've been given, which is to do a one-page writeup on a prospective donor who I am 80% positive was a spy for the US government for forty years.
It's kind of thrilling. Much of what he did was classified by the State Department and the rest is a soup of Deputy Director positions for three-letter agencies. I'd mention how there are no photographs of him online, but I've found that's actually relatively common for people over 55. Either that or I'm getting assigned all the spies and ninjas to research.
Actually let's go with that, it's more exciting that way.
