I’m happy to say that I will be working in Minnesota for Medtronic this summer.

Hmmm. What else happened today…

At work, I found out that one of my close co-workers (a full-timer with a family, not an intern like me) will be laid off on Thursday. Times are tough, and he and 149 others at the organization were unfortunately casualies of the current economic situation. The layoff provided a stark contrast to my internship decision.

I dug up some more Steamboat photos. Check out a view of the condo, another condo view, the group lounging in the condo, the group doing more lounging in the condo, the group waiting for the free bus, the group in front of the plane, the group with the plane and the pilot, inside Mother’s restaurant, and me with a weird look on my face.

Tonight, I was talking with my third little brother, Tyler, (the other two being Willis and Vince) about things. It turns out that we share many of the same political, societal, religious, and technical views, which came as somewhat of a surprise. In fact, it took 45 minutes for us to come up a significant topic that we disagreed about. (The prompt for the discussion was a component of the Fraternity’s Associate Education program)

Mmmm… random thoughts good…
