Day 419 of 1000

Kelly's gift from Lincoln LabsThis morning Kelly got out all the materials she received at the NCSU career fair so that she could start responding to people. As she pulled stuff out of the shopping bag that held all the stuff that was handed to her, the little thing at the left fell out. It is a screwdriver set that she got from Lincoln Labs up in Massachusetts.  She was not really thinking of applying there, but the little tool set is so cool, she decided she would go ahead and throw her hat into the ring!

We agreed that just about the best way to decide which summer internship to take is to base it on the coolness of the stuff they give out at the career fair.  We think the speakers she got from Siemens still wins, but not by much.  I have been looking for an excuse to get in touch with my buddy, Evan, from Licoln Labs anyway.  I wonder if they have any need for statistics people?

Kelly is kind of sad because she needs to dress up for her first internship interview (with Target for a logistics position here in North Carolina) on Tuesday followed by the Business/Management career fair on Wednesday.  That is a lot of dressing up just to try to impress corporate HR types.  Still, I think she really likes the whole process.  A classical ENFP.

Update:  I was STRONGLY admonished just now.  Kelly has NO objections–none at ALL about dressing up two, three, or even seven days per week.  She is PASSIONATE about dressing to the nines!  ¡Mea culpa!  I KNEW that!
