will be working on all the simulators the astronauts train on. they have 5-6 with various pieces of the shuttle/ISS, and are doing rough mockups of the new ones that will replace the shuttle and go to the moon. pretty neat stuff. i got to dock the shuttle to the ISS during my interview haha. pretty fancy projectors/screens/mockups. should be fun stuff.

what's more, i admire that you got this job without posting "searching for a job" on the boards. I really appreciate that kind of candidness, not entirely sure why though.

i always find myself misusing candor and candid |

Eh, he didn't come right out and say it, but I kinda figured he was at least casually searching for a job, due to a few comments he's made.
Then again, I bitch about my job and I'm *not* hunting for one. *shrugs* -------------------- |

i think its natural to bitch about your job. i caught some of my employees making fun of some of my lesser qualities and they froze up. i told them that i make fun of my boss too, just your shit done and get along.
but why oh why do i have 750 chinese people checking into my building on the 4th of July. |

Congratulations!
I was at the Johnson Space Center taking a tour of the training facilities a few weeks ago, that's a pretty sweet setup. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
