First Day of Work

Hi, sorry it has been awhile.

Today was my first day at Prometheus Energy. It went well. I met people... there are going to be 8 or 9 summer interns who are all about my age, and I think there are 6 of us now (more coming in June). I was shown around and saw the warehouse where they build things, etc. Very interesting stuff, and really a very good company. They seem to have strong values and are building toward what I consider to be a noble goal (renewable energy from waste gas).
I am learning about active magnetic regenerative refrigeration, and then I will be numerically solving partial differential equations to test some ideas out, I think. It is all exciting, though I have a LOT to learn yet.

As many of you already know and I am relearning, working for 9 hours with a 45 min to hour long commute on each end of the day doesn't leave much time for anything else if I want to get enough sleep to make it through the next day. And since I am training for the marathon this October (for which I am officially registered), I have to run or cross train every evening. One thing that is VERY lucky is that Mom and Elroy make dinner a lot of the time (though I will certainly help out... mostly with dishes). I clearly need to learn how to get by on less sleep if I want to do anything else with my life besides work and running!
