Us Federal Contractors get seen as greedy corporate types by the Pseduo-Socialist Federal Employees, they think we are out to take away their nice cushy jobs. The truth is that if they did their jobs to begin with there wouldn't be a need for Federal Contractors. So many duffers out there when I worked for the Army base on Goodfellow. Always leaving early to play Golf, or reading the Newspaper, or chatting with each other, emailing jokes, etc. Part of my job was to update aviation parts databases and in order to do that I had to navigate a web interface from another base and download the data. It took hours to do so sometimes and it was like an 800 Meg flat-file that needed to be imported into Oracle and Access databases. One Duffer was walking by and reported that I always had a web browser open for hours at a time. Yes I did in order to do my job and download the data. After I left that job for a job at the law firm, that same Duffer got busted for surfing porn on his workstation. Many of them did. I was friends with a manager that worked there and told me what happened. The CID investigated me but found I did nothing wrong. I got insulted that people would do that sort of thing to me, and also the base was moving to Huntsvilla Alabama, so I decided to find a new job.
Sometimes I wonder if I'd still have a job if I stayed on and moved to Huntsville? They tried to replace me, but couldn't find anyone qualified to stay at the job.
