For security reasons I typically delay this kind of information a while, but I stopped working for the company I had been working with and have joined with another. I was working on the largest US Airbase in western Iraq in Al Anbar. My new job is in Baghdad, in the International Zone (aka Green Zone). I have been here several weeks now and am enjoying my new work.

I miss the routine of my last job. The work was steady. Every day I would work directly with Marines and some Army soldiers. My new job is different every day. I work every day with Iraqis and US State department officials. My work previously was only technical and limited in technological scope. My new work is much broader in terms of technology and role. It is much more challenging.
