Looked at her linkedin profile, she went from getting her BS in 1980 to being Deputy Director of the US Department of Justice in 1983. How did that happen? She was a college grad with 3 years of experience with a degree in math. She's not a lawyer or a DA or State Attorney General, I'm really curious how she got that job?<p>Edit: Seems she was the Deputy Director of the Office of Information Assurance in the US Department of Justice. That's still a big jump, but not as large.
"I [...] hired a very nice little boy for CTO for IT and the sweetest little girl in the world for Deputy CIO. I have a hardworking tyke for Associate CIO and two others are working hard too and they want to make the good little boys and girls and NASA very, very happy."<p>I understand she might personally pine for sitting on Santa's lap again, but these condescending employee jokes are not at all funny.
At risk of sounding like a total jerk, I'm incredibly disappointed in this blog post and in her being appointed to this position. This post reads way to personal for my tastes. A quick read of her past accomplishments shows a history of government bureaucratic jobs, but I'd like to actually see what she accomplished there.<p>Unfortunately, this all stinks of a "quick, let's find a social media expert (i.e. Twitter user) and appoint them to the job!" Said "social media expert" then goes and blogs/tweets like a dork and alienates all the people they are supposed to be getting involved - similar to what Scott Monty did for Ford last year. If I was working IT at NASA, I'd hang my head and cry.<p>/rant
