Eye in the Sky May Blink Out
So it's hot now, whistling by the battery aisle at Walmart, starting to think about hurricane season. Then a report that a vital, Gulf-observing weather satellite might go out anytime, replacement due just around the corner in 2016.
Well that's just dandy.
Today marks 24 years since getting my first "real job" after college. Hardly dawned on me at the time I would have to keep doing it forever. Fun social experiment certainly, but really.
Since then, proud to say I have shifted cubicles several times, and we all know it won't be forever.
Actually, working with the space program has been a kick. In the face of enormous national problems, we still get a sliver of money to continue the ultimate quest in one form or another. The job itself, however, comes down not to numbers or software configuration management, but rather to people working together to produce something.
Found little time for meteorological satellite technology, however. I really don't know clouds at all.
