That wouldn't have been the Department of the Interior, Office of Red Herrings, would it?
I am well aquainted with all the praddling that goes on at the USGS. You could have saved taxpayers even more by quitting and getting a job in the private sector.
In fact it was a 2-year internship, and what I saved the US Taxpayer more than made up for my salary.
Did you publish some deep thinking circular that no one will read? Never in my life have I seen more useless overeducated people contribute so little with so much waste and spend so much time justifying their own existance than in the federal government.
Hit a nerve, did I? Whattsamatta...you lost funding due to a USGS project? Tsk! So sorry, my dear fellow.
As far as my work, I will only tell you that it was intimately involved with archiving pertinent terrestrial data for long-term environmental studies. These studies are currently being drawn on by a number of other organizations and researchers to determine the cyclicity of Earth's climate.
