I feel like a dork, now.
Life is good. I spent the summer in Richland, WA. I was working on the designs for the nuclear waste vitrification plant for Bechtel (as an intern slave). I fell in love with a mechanincal engineering contractor. Moved. I still speak with him frequently, but I can feel the distance growing.
Now I'm living in Calvert City, KY working at ISP Chemicals. I've found that industry isn't exactly beautiful. At times, as I'm prancing about the plant looking around, I feel like I'm playing for the wrong team. Engineering work is very fun, but it seems messy and involves so many nasty chemicals--I feel like I need a respirator just to walk around.
