excuse me?
so i'm at work and this man comes up to me...i was on facebook so i quickly closed the window, looked at him and smiled. he asked me when my last day was, because they're bringing in more people and need to know which cubicles are being used.
i think he felt weird for just asking me 'so when are you leaving?' and then walking away from my desk, so he stayed and asked me the normal questions you ask an intern. school? major? year? so what do you want to do with your life? if anyone asks me about the future and i have about zero probability of ever seeing them again after this internship, then i usually give some vague answer about graduating in december and deciding later...blah blah blah who knows, i'm still figuring it all out...blah blah yes, possibly grad school, i'm not sure, we'll see. i mean, after all, i can't openly say, "i can assure you i will never do consulting OR work for the oil & gas industry after this horrifically boring summer."
so then when he finds out an engineering major, he tells me that lots of engineers work doing software and everything, because they're technical people. and then he said, and i (practically) quote, "yeah, they're...you know...nerds. geeks."
i was like....excuse me?
hilarious. and further proof that i will never be an engineer.
