Another day at the ol' office

I feel it is my obligation to myself to keep a journal during my internship with American Airlines this summer, 2006. I don’t need to keep an extremely detailed entry each day, but I don’t want any of my experiences to become lost in the vacuum of my mind. Today was a pretty boring day. My mentor, Rich, was in today and we talked a little, but he didn’t give me anything to do. I spent the whole time playing with the presentation template in Authorware, and converted my project from yesterday into the AA style. It worked except for the text input. I also spent some time in the CBT room looking at the training that is already set up. I got to go watch a presentation on how ATC centers work together during thunderstorms to route traffic. They were shooting a video for training and needed bodies in the room. That’s what interns are made for! Everyone in the program development office is really nice and it’s been pretty quiet so I’m enjoying it. I’m even lucky enough to have a window in my cubicle. I don’t like the cubicle so much since people can sneak up on me. Now I know why people have mirrors around their computers.

I beat Quake 4 today. Ending sucked. I didn’t even cheat! Not that it was a bad ending to the game, I just felt I was entitled to more. I suffered through a hell of a lot in the game and I wanted a cool ending. None of this “We have new orders” crap like it was all for nothing. Oh well.
