Geeking out on facebook and real life May 1, 2009

Posted by spacemom in : Life...otherwise, Nance , trackback

I am always amazed at my "real" life. Yes, I love my work even if I complain about it. I love my kids, even when they drive me up a wall, across the ceiling and down the other side.

But, my work life is, well, geeky. I work out simulations of spacecraft observations to make sure we don’t damage the detectors. I work on writing software to review the spacecraft command loads, analyze data, try to predict the future temperatures of our instrument in the Focal Plane, and occassionally I get to do some science.

GEEK!

So I don’t often talk about these things. I figure that the science is just boring to other people. I know, it probably isn’t for some, but I find it is. Sometimes I post on facebook what I am really doing. A friend of mine makes fun of me for Geeking on Facebook. But that is who I am. A geek!

Not boring in any way, shape, or form. Holy moly, woman, I read about the stuff you work on and am amazed. It’s crazy neat.

Ditto M3. I thinks it’s awesome and I like when you throw up here little tidbits about the things you do.
