engineer without borders




Hello, darlings.� Today was a fairly uneventful day, considering that half of my team called off or couldnapos;t take phone calls for one reason or another.� I�did, however, have a lovely chat with some of my colleagues, which was nice in and of itself.� Like I�said to one of them, it is really wonderful how included they have all made me feel during these past few weeks of my initiation period.� You know, the level of how much you enjoy your work environment is directly proportional to how well your co-workers respond to you, and I�think I�have really connected with my fellow supervisors.� Some of them more so than others, but overall I�have been very pleased with their response toward me.� Of course, I�was already Friends with Bri beforehand, but now weapos;re on more of an equal footing, so there is at least one potential barrier removed from a true Friendship.

Iapos;ve got some definite thoughts about what Iapos;m going to do this weekend, including spend some time with the ever-delightful P.� Itapos;s been a very long time since we actually got to hang out, and it will be nice to get together and do some shopping and such.� I�was hoping to do some clothes shopping this weekend, but I�think I�am just going to wait until my next paycheck (I�get three this month, which is very exciting.)��I feel very remiss in not having kept in better touch with my some of my Confidantes and Friends, but it gets harder the further away they move from you.� Plus, Iapos;ve been somewhat overwhelmed with getting adjusted to work and such, so itapos;s been rather difficult to stay in touch with some of my Friends.� So, I guess I should make more of an effort.

Andrew and I�have been discussing/arguing about living in Seattle.� I have attempted to explain to him why I�am reluctant to move so far away from my Family, especially when Grandma is 86.� He, however, doesnapos;t understand the kinds of deep familial relationships that we experience as Appalachians.� I mean, even if my Grandma were younger, Iapos;m not entirely sure that I�would be willing to move all the way across the country.� I�just donapos;t think I�could do it.� I�could live anywhere on the Eastern Seaboard, but Iapos;m just not willing to move west of the Mississippi, at least not at this point in my Life.� He may disagree with that, but that would really be nothing new.� More on that subject at a later date.

Well, my darlings, Iapos;m getting tired, and I�want to do some more reading before I�head off to bed.� For your edification, here is my list of Graduate Schools:��OSU, Penn State, Maryland, Bowling Green, American, George Mason, and Vermont.� I�really think that I�stand a good chance of getting into those places, assuming that I�get my shit together this weekend and get ready to have them submitted.� Iapos;d like to have it done by the end of October, so I really need to focus my energies this weekend and get it done.� So, on that note, I�am going to get off of here, contemplate doing some work, then go to bed so that I�can get a lot of sleep.� Okay, Iapos;m done rambling.� I�promise.� I�love you all.� Adieu.
