  • #StoriesofNSA - I had done some work at the U.S. Census Bureau and some consulting work for the VA. But mostly, I just wanted to continue working at the federal level, that’s how I landed at NSA. You know, I never go into anything with any particular expectations. I mostly just wanted to find out the rules so I don't do anything wrong. It was different to be here rather than doing something for another security agency – the security checkpoints were very interesting, parking was interesting, getting on a little shuttle, that was different for me. I was surprised by the complexity of things, it’s way more complex than I realized. I don't know, I mean, complex as in the infrastructure, and the actual work every day. Finding out how many ways NSA is active in the world, as well as finding your way to a conference room; all very complex. I am competent in a number of things but I am “directionally challenged.” I get lost quite often as a newer employee - and I so appreciate the generosity of coworkers helping me find my way to the places I'm going, Recently, I was going to get my picture taken and asking people directions along the way. A gentleman told me a way to go but I got confused and I had to then ask someone else. Then the original guy came back, caught up to me, told me that he had given me the wrong directions and walked me there. We were both laughing about it. I’ve come to believe that it’s OK to get lost along the way wherever you are going, here at NSA or in life. You discover new things, find new paths, meet new people and if you are me, still end up where you are supposed to be, with a little help from others. At the end of the day I go home just like everyone else to family and friends. You don’t have to be superhuman to serve, you just need to desire to help however you can.
