My own Little Announcement
on: November 10, 2005, 04:08:32 pm
Well one day here at school, I went to the career fair. Well I started talking to someone from the Department of Defense. And before I knew it I was walking to have an interview with one of their staff. Well, to make a long story short, I am now employed with the DoD in their contracting division as a student Co-Op. :D

Yah, I have been sitting on this news for the past week or so waiting for HLP to go back up. Best part is, you can go over seas. Guess where I would like to go for a tour ;)

Major congratulations, dude. :D

So where are you looking to go in the world?
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

That is an option. They give you $60,000 for six month assignment. The way I figure it, as long as you survive the ride to and from Bagdad airport and through downtown bagdad you'll be ok. I did decide if I ever had to go there that I would take small arms training and self defense class and keep a concealed 9mm on my person.

But honestly, I would like Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait. Any of those would be great. However, really want to visit London. France is out of the question(even before the riots).

Gratz on the job though. :yes:

Thanks,
I am sure the country is beautiful. Its the fact that the French live there...and there is a general stereotype of the french that is pretty acurate from what I understand.

Does this mean that when I eventually start up an arms dealing operation, you can get me lucrative contracts?

Kudos on the job. Just try not to accidentally push The Button.

Sounds interesting. Congrats. :yes:

I'm actually looking for a summer internship or part-time job myself at the moment. I could go to NIST for a second time or look for something else, maybe the nearby APL campus or one of the several military contractors in the area. I wouldn't consider anything that required me to go outside daily commuting range, much less outside the country, but I fortunately have a lot of local options.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Glow tags. Doesn't work in FF, I think we found that out during testing but I figured maybe someone had found a way round it.

Hey whoa, hold on a second. In Internet Explorer it puts a wee box round it and all sorts of crazy ass nonsense. :wtf:

I'm pretty sick of the anti-French sentiment.
