Nathan Rose - At Large in Downtown Greensboro
A question popped up recently in more or less not these rephrased words: "What would you say you do for the City of Greensboro, Mr. Rose?"
My reply? "I rock."
Other than that, I am the task mule for all things mundane, and often it seems an endless barrage of work is thrown my way. I do some direct work for clients, but my usual tasks consist of creating new map elements to improve the work efficiency for folks around the office. I run copies for my direct boss, but if anyone not in the chain of command asks me to do something, I tell them to "buzz off!" Ok, I really don't in most cases, but there are definitely a few who will not get favors from me, because they are particularly ungrateful and conceivably more pointless than me in the scheme of this department.
I also happen to act as courier, carrying plans between departments for new construction projects around the city, such as subdivisions, cell phone towers, fast food restaurants, and other assorted concoctions of your infidel society.
I do all this because I enjoy it. Ok, I'll admit, it beats about any other job I've ever had to a bloody pulp, except for my summer mowing lawns, which just beat me to a bloody pulp.
Water Resources is 2nd only to rocking out in terms of awesome logical options to make a living in Greensboro. And since I rock out at work, it's really like getting the best of both at times.
Really the only true next step up for me is to get a job making funny amateur videos and make a killing. I'm thinking of starting a franchise called "File Clerks Gone Wild". Give me some feedback on that.
