Growing up, I was never entirely certain what I wanted to be. I drifted from occupation to occupation, never really settling on a grand passion, and when I took the Needle-Sort occupational test, I was told my results showed that I would either make a good priest or a good bartender. Frankly, I don’t have the leg stamina or the knee stamina for either one, which is probably how I ended up where I am now – a buyer for the US Army Corps of Engineers. To quote the recruiting posters, it’s not just a job, it’s an adventure.
While there are days I bang my head against the desk, there are little moments that make my job worthwhile. For example, I just learned that I could buy a suicide restraint jacket through GSA Advantage for only $111.41… and that’s FOB Destination, so there’s no shipping charges involved.
Like I said, it’s the little things.
