On: Working late, responsibly

[cwal37]

In my current position I can't have work email easily accessible on my phone. I have a security token on my keychain that changes every 30 seconds or so, as well as 2 additional passwords I need to remember. This is enough to deter me from checking my work email outside of work 95% of the time. I used to be the person sending emails from bed at 3am.

I go hiking in the Smokies almost every weekend, and I enjoy the fact that my post-hike tranquility won't be interrupted by work emails that inevitably hijack my brain even if they aren't pressing.

What the hell do you do?

Hahaha, nothing crazy. I work at a national lab. I'm like a hybrid policy analyst/economist/environmental scientist/programmer focused on energy.

There are definitely people at this lab and presumably next door at the Y-12 complex for whom this level of security is more relevant.
