Good news! Great news! I'm employed in my field of study. I'm working as a mechanical engineer in a very busy, little manufacturing and design shop. I'll be getting plenty of experience in engineering, management, and basically any other work that they throw my way as I am getting up to speed with the company. If they keep me on, this will make for a great starting job in my career :3
I've been working for a few weeks now and I seem to fit in ok. It's more rough and tumble sort of atmosphere, but I've worked construction with rough people before and I'm easy to get along with. Once I hit the 90 day mark they'll be stuck with me and will have to negotiate my pay x3 There's a thing in my state where there is a 90 day probationary period that employers get to see if an employee is a good fit and can give them reduced pay... Which kinda sucks on the pay, but I'm sure it will be much better after the time period. Either way, I'm happy to be being paid for something useful, and it's been wonderful for my emotional state. This also means I'll be getting art occasionally >w>

You guys keep being awesome!
