Frustration Abated!
I actually really started work today! After filling out a plethora of forms, then some more forms, then getting keys, then getting a badge with my picture on it (from Stennis Space Center no less; I'll add it to the collection of impressive badges right next to the one from Berkeley National Labs!), I really did some work. It turns out these guys need some help I am adequately prepared to provide. Unfortunately, much of what I do is considered confidential, if not actually gov't secret rated, so if I told you what I did, I'd have to kill you... Sorry, but they don't teach us illegal gov't ninja moves for nothing!
