We Are Responsible Adults

Though you might not have thought so, if you caught us unawares in the control room. That was before all the new rules were laid down.

Used to be you'd find us ... oh ... shooting rubber bands at each other, throwing pencils at the ceiling, making fun of everyone and everything.

But there was a reason for our juvenile behavior.

At least, I was always certain that it was a requirement for the job. You simply can't expect someone that ACTS like a grownup to be able to handle the constantly changing, challenging, demanding environment we work in.

It is conceivable that we could kill hundreds of people with a simple mistake.

Now who wants to sign on for that?

We did. But the agency is making sure these days that no one is going to want to follow in our footsteps.
