So this fall I will begin my second year as a mechanical engineering student. I was fortunate enough to land an 'internship' at a local factory. An intership is about the last thing I would call it. The better term for it would be "sit on your butt in a freezing office with nothing to do and make bank."

Since first year college students do mainly GenEds I dont know a great deal about being an engineer. Meaning there isnt a whole lot I can do around here. Take today for instance, I did my daily morning work which took like 30 minutes. After that I asked my mentor guy if he had anything for me and he replied with "No, not really. Just sit there and play around on your phone and computer"

....and thats what Ive been doing all day. Its not the first time ive had a day like this either. Granted some days sucks and are long and hot in the factory. But today is one of those good days. Much better than the Landscaping job I had been doing, especially with this insane heat we've ben having.

I just felt like sharing with you guys! Hope you all have a good day.
 
can i haz ur job? those concrete blocks i fling around all day are starting to mess with me
 
Ide let ya guys in on it if I could!

But right now..Im sitting in my office. It almost feels like they're testing me to see if I'll do anything or just sit here. But ive called several people asking if there was anything I could do and they all said no.

PPSSHH, and everyone says the real world is hard!
 
lol, i sat on my phone all day today too, sometimes talking to customers, but for the most part just looking at stuff on the net

I looked up so much stuff about my truck, the dirtbike im buying, and information about things i need to do at the house. I had to just stop because I couldnt ingest anymore!
