Update on a previous post

I had posted yesterday about the spending at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory as noticed by Colorado Watchdog. It seems that one of the NREL employees is a bit unhinged. From today's Colorado Watchdog:
'Murderous rampage�: Gov�t lab worker threatens reporters
A woman angered by a Watchdog investigation into the government lab where she works retaliated by threatening mass murder against this news organization in several Twitter posts.

�Have you ever felt like going on a murderous rampage? Start at @WatchdogCO �s offices. They perpetuate lies like this,� Kerrilee Ann Crosby tweeted last month while working at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

�You guys are f***ing retarded. You are the Fox News of blogs. At first I thought I was reading The Onion, but no not the case,� Crosby continued.

Crosby, 34, was responding to a Watchdog story detailing massive spending at the secret government lab, a Jimmy Carter initiative to push green energy. NREL and the two companies that manage its activities have received more than $1 billion from taxpayers since 2010 alone. Top executives at the lab earn well into six figures. NREL�s top manager, Dan Arvizu, makes close to $1 million per year. His two top lieutenants rake in more than$500,000 each and nine others make more than $350,000 a year.
Probably hoping for a chance at the big bucks and pissed because her little empire is going to come crashing down at some point. A bit more -- sounds like a model employee:
Crosby�s Linkedin profile had the header: �I take my day job seriously.� But her Twitter feed is filled with dozens of tweets per day that appear during the business hours. They detail graphic sex, love of alcohol, and the Denver music scene, and bemoan her lackluster dating life.

�i�m gonna be the tree at my office Christmas party tonight. Get it? Cause I�ll be so lit up. Get it?� Crosby tweeted recently. And: �Barfing out passenger window, going down 6th at 30 mph in merging traffic and no one honked at me.�

Despite her Linkedin declaration that she is a good employee, she posted this about her job at NREL: �In our weekly meetings I play this lil game called How Much Can I Fart In This Leather Chair And Get Away W/ It. Works best with a hangover.�
Trainwreck waiting to happen. This person's life is being funded by you and me -- our tax dollars at (what passes for) work... Posted by DaveH at December 14, 2012 9:19 PM
