Everyone at works thinks I had a job interview today. So I wore slacks, dress shoes and a shirt.. and Ok I had a sports coat on for a little while... but I was wearing my UW lapel pin, doesn't that count for something?
I guess not.
However, I did not have a job interview today, alas. I had what I termed "residual school." As most of you know, I completed my Master's Degree in June, and today I got to present on my final project from my concentration (Information Assurance and Cyber Security). That presentation took place at the FBI Field Office in Downtown Seattle, an unassuming building as you walk past, an empty lobby (well there is a metal detector in the lobby) some american flags and an armed guard behind thick bulletproof glass. But otherwise unassuming.
The group was made up of Information Security Professionals from across the region (most from the Seattle Area) and there were about 40 or so people. It was a lot of fun and we had some very compelling conversation about the work my class did. The Cybercrime Special Agent agreed that we tackled an extremely difficult subject and that they wished something along the lines of what we tried to do existed... and needs to exist.
I don't know if it's a way to make money, but we also came to agree that there eshould probably be a government agency for this kind of thing. I wonder if they'd have a field office in Tacoma.
