Honestly, though my group of friends and I have a hard and fast "No cellphones at the dinner table" policy. And two of us are in national security positions and I'm tech support for one area of national security. If we can do it, anyone can!

No, it would be "box mine up, I'll be outside" if I was to do that.

I don't get calls like that during times like dinner anyway, they are usually in the middle of the night or on the weekends when I'm doings other than work.

My area of responsibility is pretty big, just our global backbone. I'm not a government worker, so my cell phone gets answered or the calls returned whenever it rings, not just from 9a-5p M-F, excluding holidays ;)

I knew we had to be on a few watch lists and that proves it!


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

I wouldn't worry too much, I have more insight into what goes on our network than Uncle Sam :D:

Ouch, Ktulu! That stings a little, you know that? ;) What's funny is that I am so late in answering this because I had to redo a couple of machines and then help bring a server back on line (even though I'm supposed to be off at 6 on Fridays...) It's probably because my office is in the Government Accountability Office building...makes us feel like we should be accountable or something... :rolleyes:

And hey, Shorty: technically, since I do look at this site from work over a government network, all the information on here is now the property of the FedGov! :D:

Edited to add: I'm guessing my roommates and I are going to be easy to spot at WDW in Nov... We'll be the ones wearing black suits and ties with with dark sunglasses and one hand to our ear pieces... :p:

My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
