    Hmm.. I never did an update.
    Anywho, for the past almost 2 years now, I have been working as a network problem management analyst.

    That means I look at the history of things breaking or going wrong and try to find a common problem that others have overlooked which would cause the things from breaking to ... stop breaking, and then I curate negotiations across different departments to get a project underway to resolve the issue rather than it causing more one-off issues.

    An example of what this concept looks like is one everyone already implicitly knows: If you keep having bulbs blow out in your home at an abnormally high rate, then you might stop from just addressing your "light outage" by replacing bulbs and have your electrical wiring inspected.

    In Star Wars.
    I'd still be working on the Death Star. That's where you see a highly tuned and efficient network.

    I suppose I could roll back to the Prequels, but no clue what that would be there. As with most science fantasy and/or science fiction, technology just mostly works without ever needing a support infrastructure to make it work.

    With what we see in the movies, just on personalities representing what my job's "personality" is, probably Captain Typho - always suspecting that something's wrong, and critical of everything.

    I ceaselessly push a large rock up toward the top of a hill - never quite getting there. Decent benefits.

    In the galaxy far far away-uh-verse, I’d be a contractor that specialized in retrofitting precarious walkways with life saving handrails. Untapped market!!

    I keep struggling with anxiety disorder, so I am forced to live off my savings, bank interest rate and stock trading.
