Rhymes with “Snowing” Archives

  1. The First Two Years, Sort Of

    Today marks, among other things, my two year company date at Boeing. I know what you’re thinking: It hasn’t even been a year since you graduated, how can you have two years at Boeing? Behold, the power of the internship. I actually started at Boeing on May 26th, 2006 as a summer intern for the…

  2. Working with My Former Self

    I’m doing some verification of specifications at work that involves going through documents and making sure that stuff is up to par. A couple of times, I’ll come across a document and think to myself, this is a pretty good document (i.e. it looks …

  9. Things I Learned This Week

    A bullet point list of some of the things I learned at work: Do not be in the same room when a 50000 volt, 200000 amp, 50 microsecond “lightning” strike goes off. It will vaporize anything in its path with a bright flash and a large boom. “While at The Boeing Company you will not…
