My work involves a wide variety of things - managing people, administrative tasks, keeping track of tasks, writing, editing, reviewing, analysis, communicating with constituents - are some of the things I regularly do.
I spent many years doing programming, database development, and data analysis. I enjoy problem solving and still enjoy that kind of work. But as I pay attention to what I enjoy most at work, and what I enjoy least, I find that what gives me the most satisfaction is personal communication with one person or a small group. The thing I enjoy least is almost anything done sitting in front of the computer - unless it's a specific task with some intellectual challenge or creativity involved - such as analyzing some information or developing a presentation to give.
I have a number of opportunities over the next few weeks to meet with some interesting people and explore some emerging issues and new opportunities in fisheries management, and I'm very much looking forward to it.
