I'm sooo lying. Just a silly little childhood dream. When all the other little girls were dressing up and playing house, I was putting on my trench coat and pretending to crunch numbers and design profiling systems for autocratic govts and sinister intelligence services. Sigh....

Trucker. I'm a peak-oiler who drives a vehicle that gets 5 mpg, servicing natural gas-based fertilizer production plants. The level of irony is great; it's like being an ornithologist enjoying a 10-piece bucket from KFC.
