Just in case anyone cares....

After working for the better part of 38 years, 22 of them as a government contractor for one agency or another, I have FINALLY been hired by the government itself!! I Am A Fed! woohoo!

It's a little pay cut, but a big boost in job security. I have lost my job twice because of contracts ending, and I lost a job once because a long-term government jerk took a dislike to me (and many others), but now *I* am the government person! Oh, I can still be fired, but it'll be harder now.

I'm thinking, 'Now I can think about buying a house! What does Rita want in a house?'

Congrats. Rita wants a little backyard with a fence that will keep her
in the backyard.
