Today is a good day
No one is home right now so i thought i'd let it out on pelican. I just got a call about 20min ago from honeywell in albuquerque and they want me for there summer intern as a mechanical engineer. I'm so excited right now, i can barely type. Now it's time for me to find an apartment complex who will give me a three month lease and i'm off to albuquerque for the summer

Too big to fail

Cool - just so long as it's not an "White House"-type intern...

Las Cruces? Yum. I miss that Ol' Gringo brand enchilada sauce. Good stuff, along with lots of other food out that way.
Congrats on the internship. This is where you get the chance to learn all the useful stuff they DON'T teach you in school. If anyone still takes in boarders you might find a deal on a place to live. It used to be a good way to get a cheap place to stay for a while.

That is not bad since you would not have to pay for utilities, trash pickup, phone, etc.

interesting job, nice state. I wish you the best of luck.
My co-op job was an eye-opener. I only saw about 75% of the real world, but that was all I needed to know. Those 8 quarters revealed I was not made for office-work. have fun, jurgen |
