My New Job As A Federal Agent With The Bureau:

So a lot has happened since our last blog entry. I (Tom) accepted a position with the Bureau as a federal agent about 6 weeks ago. I will undergo intense training in San Francisco late next month, and learn to stand strong and fight against those who wish to resist truth and good. Alison will accompany me on the latter portion of this journey. I have learned that the all seeing eye of Uncle Sam (yes, he only has 1 eye - information only provided to government agents) will always find you, eventually, if you are doing wrong. I have posted 4 telling photos below:

My mortal enemy, the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulations)


This image of my work station had to be obscured (blurred) for security purposes



As you can see, I only get a single sliver of outside light. Once I become a more senior agent I will be granted the privilege of 2 to 3 slivers.


Unimportant Details:
I work for the Bureau of Reclamation
I am a Contract Specialist (and being trained secondarily in Cost/Price analysis)
I mostly work with contractors and suppliers

Important Details:
I am a Federal Agent, similar to Agent Moulder of the X-Files
I work in a high security building
I have a government issued charge card
If you assassinate me while on government business, the penalty will be more severe

In order to become more familiar with everyday government business, Alison and I have watched seasons 1-7 of the X-files. Please refer to us a Agents Wully and Woulder.
