Good news! And they're a good company. They did a good job for us on Yawkey.

I mentioned Yawkey (I did some research about them before I went) when we were talking and he whipped out all of Yawkey's drawings, plopped them on the table, and showed me them!

They're starting me monday, btw!
 
In considering the way this thread has changed direction over the last few posts, I've often wondered why we don't have an informal "internships and careers" thread...
 
I still don't really know who is an architect, engineer, etc and who isn't on this board. I only know a few. It always confuses me.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes. I'm so excited to be finally free from the nasty grip of retail!
 
What about CERN's "discovery" that sub atomic particles travel at greater than the speed of light? My thought is that the velocity of all matter is in a state of decay, including that of light. The rate of decay is not uniform, so particles that ought to have a constant velocity relative to the movement of others could overtake a like type.

What do you experts think is going on?

I guess "cold fusion" was a dud (unfortunately). Maybe "slow light" is the next fail?
 
9 Cool Under Over Pass Projects, Atlantic Cities

Elevated freeways slice through cities all over the world. At their best, they make getting into and around cities incredibly easy; at their worst, they segregate and isolate communities. Somewhere in between those two poles is a ton of potential. The spaces beneath those overpasses are often underutilized – or utilized in ways illegal or undesirable. Cities are beginning to take advantage of these dead spaces as usable parts of the public realm. These projects highlight some of the ways cities and communities are taking advantage of the space beneath freeways.

Alternately, you could give a moment of thought to what you are writing and construct your sentence in a way that removes the ambiguity and the need for extraneous commas.

We invited JFK, Stalin and the strippers.

Easy.
 
The Arsenal on the Charles might just be the best office park to work-in... ever. Annual tenant appreciation lunch from Casa del Pedro - lemon and chipotle chicken with Spanish rice... mmm... They even have live music in the lobby.
