Overworked and Underpaid

I checked with my boss (a first), and I’m allowed to talk in a slightly limited fashion about where I’m working and what I do. My new employer is the group Oregonians for Health Security. They advocate reforming the American health care system (which the system could benefit from, don’t you think?). When we eventually get our collective asses in gear and do something about this problem, it really won’t be as hard as most people seem to think. I’ve lived in two other countries that did just fine extending health care to their populations (not having a huge standing army helped in both cases, though).

Anyway, my actual duties are still a bit nebulous (so far I’ve just been helping to organize a public forum for this Friday), so for now I’m describing my job title as “忍者” (ninja).

I’ll tell you rapt readers more as soon as I’m able.
