Umm, What is it That You Do?....

Folks keep asking me what I do at work. Here's a taste. But what I am doing is not as cool. I am basically learning about every software package/ modeling system in the world that can simulate future landscapes. No dinosaurs though.

I think my office mate is going to die any day now. I know that sounds awful but the man survives strictly on soda, skittles, and cigarettes. It's really something actually. He came in this afternoon and looked physically repulsed that I was eating an apple and later commented on how much water I drink.
