So a proton walks into a bar...

I apologize to those of you who think I am dead because I did not post last night. I spent some much needed time on the phone catching up with all the NP gossip (thanks Joy!). Yesterday nothing too exciting happened, just work and the gym and then home. Sorry, people, my life is not always as exciting as I might like to think.

Today was intern lunch day. Most of the other interns are in high school, which means that lunch with them just ends up being a quiet time for people to eat looking at each other. The girl who works next door to me, Aivi (pronounced Ivy) is cool, I think she is a sophomore in college, but compared to the high schoolers (the kids, we cal them), she is much older. Anyway, so we basically help the conversation during lunch, which was weird anyway, because the kids wanted to go to the mall across the street from work to get food, and there is no real common area to eat, so they all sort of stood around for a while and then went outside to sit. That was not a good call, seeing as it was like 90 outside. Oh well, it's not like we didn't sweat on the way to work, or on the way home. Anyway, these kids are funny, I wonder if I was that awkward when I was 17...I don't think I was. Come on, we were cool in high school, right? Anyway, so yea, they asked us if we were getting paid as soon as we hit te elevators. No qualms about that being a bad question just to ask someone, and then they wanted to know how much we were making. Apparently they are working for free. Sucks to be them. Aivi likes to tell people it is because we are from out of state, and need to pay rent, so they pay us, but really, I think it is because we are not in high school. Besides, while she is from Delaware, she is living with family in Maryland, so she is not even paying rent. I guess she is a little young as well. I go with it though, you want to have some friends at work, or it can get pretty monotonous.

In other news, my boss told me he liked my initiative today. Yup, I am amazing. I also have apparently been signed up to teach some of the professional development training sessions by my new best friend Dane, who is this 50 year olf guy into Astronomy, and therefore, my best friend. He is the kind of guy who makes bad Physics jokes and knows I will get them. Yup, there is always one. Yea, so I will be corrupting teachers this year and teaching them bad Physics jokes. Oh, what a summer!
