Multi-Dimensional Feds - Flag Football to World Series of Poker

In the media, government employees are cast like they are a different species. Living underground in caves, we speak a different language (bureaucratize), have different morals (obscurity), and generally make your life difficult.

One of the most interesting things I’ve found working in public service is the diversity of the public service. I’m particularly interested in what people do after work.

In my five years, I’ve met a number of interesting govies including:
-World Series of Poker player
-Bonsai master
-Creator of largest drag race community in world_
-Owner of hair dresser and two restaurants
-Professional jazz singer
-Owner of blinds company
-National flag-football champion

What do you do outside of work? Any cool skills/hobbies?

Welcome sressler89! Are you going to tell them who you are / why you're here, or is it our secret?

And here I am thinking you left the barn door open. :laugh:

sressler89 is Steve, the creator of www.govloop.com. We're doing a little blog swapping a few times a month.

Yep. I'm a long-time TSP Talk lurker. And I created GovLoop.com a few months back - basically a "Facebook/Linkedin for Govies." Social network, blogs, forums, events, etc. Free and takes a sec to join.

We're trying out a little blog swapping a few times a month as I want to tell GovLoopers about the awesomeness of TSP Talk and hopefully vice-versa.

Cool. I joined the other day. I like the concept and look forward to another great information portal to participate in.
