Lots of that "job security" in doing things other folks really don't want to do.

Yes, that got me the position as "State and Municipal Tax and Regulatory Compliance Specialist" at my former place of employment. It's not the kind of job normal people want to do.

Ugh. Even to me that sounds awful. But it sounds an awful lot like my current job as "expert in [technical] standards." If I don't know the requirement off the top of my head, I know where to find it fast.

"It's not the kind of job normal people want to do." Yup. Which might mean I can keep doing this for many, many years to come. Retirement is a killer for men in my family; better to stick with something fun, and the kids on my committees look at the white beard with awe. (As they should *\;^)
