#20: Nothing to Report
#20: Nothing to Report When it comes to working for a federal or secret agency, you can pretty much forget about having the freedom to talk about your job. Sure, you might hear a few stories here and there, but for the most part, you’re not allowed to spill the beans. It’s like a strict code of silence, and that’s just how it is. But, for some agents, there isn’t much to tell. They’ve done their job, but nothing of note has happened. It’s like they’ve been living in a world of monotony, never able to share the details of their daily grind. So, for those agents, their stories are simply that nothing ever happened, and they were never allowed to tell us.
#20: Nothing to Report As a former FBI agent, I was often asked to keep secrets that I was sworn not to tell. But after a while, I realized there was nothing to tell. My job had been hyped up as something more exciting than it actually was, and I finally had to admit that the reality of it was far less thrilling than I’d been led to believe. Nothing to report here – just a lot of mundane paperwork and tedious waiting.
