It's a dirty stinky rotten job... we love it!

People are always captivated by the work we do. To be honest, we're captivated too, it is incredibly interesting. I have to admit though that I often avoid answering the "and what do you do for work?" question if I know that I have limited time. "Oh, you know, a little of this and that..."
Invariably, after the initial question, we can expect a puzzled if not bewildered look. And the conversation that follows from the "and what does that mean exactly?" question will be followed again and again by all kinds of "you actually do that? And someone pays you for that? How in the world did you get into that?..."
Recently, Glen Schaefer from the Vancouver Sun came over here because he wanted to see for himself what we do and I think he captured the essence of it pretty well.
So I thought I'd share the article and video he produced for any of you who might also be wondering what on earth we've been up to over here...
Check out "It's a whale of a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it."
