(no subject)
So, my first day of work went well, I think. I went through orientation, though no ammount of "Vitamin A" could hold back my ADD during the Credit Union and other benefits slids (I'm not sure what the other benefits were, I wasn't paying attention).. but I mean, I'm only there for a summer, so this stuff didn't really matter to me.
Then I installed some stuff on my computer and finally found out what exactly I would be doing. There's this program that predicts where air plane flights will travel, the point being to eventually help air traffic controllers by predicting how many planes will be flying through various sectors so that there aren't too many planes too close to each other and so air traffic controllers don't get overloaded with work because of too many planes in their sector... and the program displays the predictions with red lines if they were inaccurate or green lines if they were accurate. So the people in charge of the project want to come up with a better way of deciding whether or not predictions are accurate, and I get to program those changes.
The only downside is that I have to work all the time. But I guess it just means more money for booze and gambling up at college next year.
