I Hate Going Into DC...

We left at 7:30 to drive the 15 miles to the meeting. It took an hour and 15 minutes.

The meeting ran from 10AM to 3PM, with about a 40 minute break for lunch. I didn't eat, just sipped a soda.

I think I did ok, injecting a bit of humor into the meeting wrap up. I have pages of notes and a lot of acronyms to figure out tomorrow...

After the meeting ended, we waited almost another hour while one dude talked to the Fed boss in private (about what is secret, so I have no clue). The drive back home was worse, bumper to bumper on the beltway, but we did better when we got on the I270 HOV lane.

Government Jobs

Just today, I applied for the 4th time for a job in a Federal Agency. I expect I will not get the job, as they wanted a Database Administrator with IT Security Officer and Desktop Support experience.

Good luck with that one, I have some database and security stuff, but mostly the Customer and Desktop/Project Management experience.

What sucks is you never hear anything back about the application and they want these supporting documents, but they don't give you any explanation of what those are. Very strange stuff.
