Followup, MOBA

I called for an interview at EasyLobby the other day, only to find that the Woman in Charge was then in a demonstration and would soon be leaving for a 1.5 week vacation. I was advised to call back at the beginning of June.

I let my coordinator know and she called me back tonight to tell me that she had someone else over at Bose (where the make giga-sound in a Very Small Box) that might be interested in me but wanted to know what programs I was familiar with. Thing is, the guy I would be working for seems to do some sort of customer relations thing. She said that his job has a lot to do with computers, and I’m sure it does, but I don’t want to spend hours entering data or running programs, or whatever he does. I want to work somewhere where they’re actually writing the programs, or in some web development department. That’s the point of an internship- to see what the industry’s like and get some experience in it. I know that I need to tell my coordinator that, but I’m bad at things like that. I know it’s ridiculous, but I feel like she’s doing me a favor by finding places for me. That’s her job, and she needs my input to be able to do her job better. I just realized that she’s going to give the URL of this site to the Bose guys. Hello, Bose guys, if you’re reading this. I probably shouldn’t post this now, but I will anyway. You’re cool, and I’d probably own something of yours if I was richer.

Occasionally, my family spontaneously decides (usually over dinner) to go to a movie. Tonight we saw Super Size Me, which was excellent. Amusing, vaguely horrifying, very good indeed. Makes me want to exercise- a lot. The point though, is that the basement of the movie theatre houses the Museum of Bad Art, usually refered to as the MOBA. Anyone in my area should see it- it’s just one dark little room with fifteen or twenty peices of art, but it’s awesome. Come to my house and we’ll go see a movie and visit the MOBA. Better than the paintings themselves are the dry, biting, and hilarious captions assigned by MOBA people. I took a couple of pictures, but they were only the first two on the roll. It’ll take a while to finish the camera. If I had my own digital camera, as opposed to one belonging to my father that I must be Very, Very Careful with, I would post many pictures of my travels- not that I usually travel anywhere except school and work. Soon there will be a picture of the front right corner of my car, which is all banged up and missing a hub cap.
