The semester ends and my reliability goes to shit.<\/p>\n<p>My previous regular posting schedule was related to that fact that I was in front of a computer at the same time every week (Fridays, from 12:30 until 2:30) as well as phenomenally bored. Now that the semester is over and my TA position is wrapped up, I won&#8217;t be in front of a computer at those times any more. Err, well, I will be but probably shouldn&#8217;t be posting to my own personal web page. Confused? Me too. Let me iron it out for you.<\/p>\n<p>This summer, I&#8217;ll be interning with the state of Vermont and working on a project they have to conduct a census of every historic barn in the state. It&#8217;s a huge project and really exciting, and I&#8217;m pretty lucky to be involved. My first day was today and I met some really nice people that I&#8217;ll be working with and was shown to a desk which has a phenomenal view of the hills surrounding Montpelier. But I won&#8217;t be posting to this blog from work and here&#8217;s why; I am technically a state employee and don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s allowed (and quite frankly don&#8217;t want to find out) and so will err on the side of caution. Also, I&#8217;m treating this internship as a way to get good practical experience and a way to develop good contacts for future job hunting and don&#8217;t want to soil that mix with any blog-related funnybusiness.<\/p>\n<p>So.<\/p>\n<p>The blog and the job will remain separate, although as the job is part of my life and as I write about my life here, I may make passing comments to places I&#8217;ve been\/things I&#8217;ve learned in the course of the workday.<\/p>\n<p>As far as my posting schedule goes, who knows? I hereby firmly commit to try and post on a semi-regular basis, but whether that means once a week or twice every three I don&#8217;t know yet.<\/p>\n<p>But semester #2 of 3 is over and I&#8217;m (temporarily) back in the working world and yet again I am a NewGuy outside his comfort zone.<\/p>\n<p>Good times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, look at me.
