So I just checked my email and saw E Ink finally told me what's up with the job offer paperwork. It did take me emailing them though. It turns out it was miscommunication within the company. I was offered the job by my former internship boss and he told me that HR was going to send me the paperwork by this past Tuesday. Well, apparently he made ( Read more... )

To day was the first day I got to walk around with out a brace or support of any kind for my leg. Yeah, I still walk a little funny and stairs are still somewhat of a problem but it has been only 3 weeks. The bandages are starting to fall off so I am starting to see the small incisions they made on my knee. Obviously, my calf and thigh muscles are ( Read more... )

What an anticlimactic way to end the crazy roomie saga. When we woke up Saturday morning, we noticed all the plates and everything was back in the kitchen where it belonged. Apparently, nobody confronted Damon about it to his face; he just decided to put it all back. And since he met his end og the agreement, Tim returned all of Damon's things too ( Read more... )

So those who know my living situation know I live with a roommate who has gone completely insane. Brooks, Tim, and Damon have lived together for 3 years and been frineds ever since they came to WPI. I have lived with them for 2 years and last summer, Damon and I were good enough friends that I bascially just gave him a job as a workstudy in the ChE ( Read more... )

Today, I finally got the official job offer from E Ink. I don't know why it took them 2.5 weeks to finally make up their mind, but now I have it. I don't know anything about the compensation package yet because I only had a phone discussion with the guy who was my boss last summer. Besides that, its not exactly what I was hoping for. SInce E Ink is ( Read more... )

This was supposed to be posted yesterday. Why is LJ so finicky ( Read more... )

Today was my last day in Fresno. Tomorrow I hop on a plane and go back to H-town. I slept the morning away and spent my afternoon packing. Outside it was pouring rain and freezing cold. Conditioning us for going back to MA, I guess. Tonite, Lupe took us out to dinner. We went to Yoshino for Teppanyaki. Yoshino is a Japanese restaurant and ( Read more... )

It's all over. Today was awesome. Very nice indeed. Slept in a little this morning, about 15-30min. Took while longer to get ready then normal because I had to get all spiffed up in my suit. Today was final presentation day for our MQP. I got in to work at 10am, hour later than usual. We were meeting Prof. Wilcox at 1030 to give her a quick plant ( Read more... )

Well, here we are. 'Tis the night before my final MQP presentation to the management and big whigs at the Gallo-Fresno Winery. The last 8 weeks of work will finally culminate in our presentation tomorrow afternoon. Our project started without any direction and we have made great strides in helping Gallo find a solution to improving thier filtration ( Read more... )

As part of our project, we are exploring crossflow filtration. We knew Modesto was in the process of implementing a crossflow filtration system. So we wanted to pay a visit to that plant to see if the system they have there would work here in Fresno. Unfortunately, a trip to Modesto would be a whole-day event and that may not be the best thing when ( Read more... )
