Summer plans

[jgrafton]

Damn. I was just offered a position this summer at Green Hills Software. I never actually expected this... hell, I never even expected anything after just talking to them at the career fair.

This now means I have to decide. I hate having to decide. Especially when it means having to disappoint somebody.

I think Guy Goldstein, who you might know, works for them. His andrew ID was guyg, but I don't know if he still checks that email.

[jgrafton]

Yeah, he does work there now.

what's your other choice?

[jgrafton]

ManTech, place I worked last year and would've still been perfectly happy to return to.

Teehee. Jgrafton worked for ManTech.

Not that I know anything about them. Their name is just funny when one has been doing math for too many hours.

all we do is sit around and make emo gay porn.

[jgrafton]

Yeah, just about everyone makes that joke; you're not that special, don't worry.

you know my position on this issue.

if you go to GHS, well, I guess I'll be seeing you around CFIA next year.

fuck still need to talk to PJ about stealing you. had the chance to today but had been working for ~10hrs and was kind of frazzled.

[jgrafton]

Yeah, I know, you keep telling me I don't want to work anywhere but CFIA... I still feel like I should see other places, regardless though.

I will miss the CFIA crowd, though. It's really tough.

Think of the advantages!

This is an opportunity to say, "I work at!"

Is that your primary concern, or is your primary concern which internship will be best for you? Don't be a martyr, especially on something that could affect your future career. (This was a lesson that had to be pounded into me. I'd rather not see you make the same mistake.)

[jgrafton]

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I just mean really that I like both opportunities, and I'm fairly certain that both places like me and want me to come and stuff, so... yeah. I'll decide at some point.

I misinterpreted your comment above about ManTech. Some people I know return to their previous place of employment out of a sense of duty, not because they really want to. If you really did like working there & want to go back, then yeah, I can see why this decision is so tough.
