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:
This is my Building
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.
Pictured above: high tech government computer programs allowed me to simulate our new role.

Tom, I'm glad to see that you have found a job. And now I can tell all my friends that a friend of mine is a Federal Agent. Can I just say fed for short? I 'll mention this right after I tell them that my dad can beat up their dad. Actually my favorite show in high school was the x-files. Last weekend we rented the new movie. We even looked at buying the boxed set of X-files at costco, but at 190 dollars decided not to.
I am only a state agent.. why must you out do me on everything!!! the penalty is actually a reward if anyone assasinates me while I am working so that the University has one less job to cut now that the budget is cut. So shoot away!
Sweet, thought you would like to know seeing your blog was a mind blowing experience. congrats on the new job. Does that mean you get to carry a gun... COOL

Hi Tom. It's good to hear you became a federal agent. You're so nice. How is your life going? I am doing a research in areospace field as a PhD student in Yonsei University. I hope to see you in US when I get a chance to participate in a conference held in the US. Do you know Adam H. got his son? I saw the picture of the baby, and you can say the baby is a little Adam, it's perfect. It's a nice blog you have. I'll drop by again, see you.
