The Interns Are Back!!

Yes … I'm doing the “experiment” again by having two of my summer interns stay with me.  Based on last summers experience (Start, End, Intern Post), I decided to repeat it again …

So far, we have one intern already in the house (Senior from Virginia Tech) with the second one arrive in the next week.  The big difference this year is that my wife will be in the house (last year, she spent the summer volunteering as a camp nurse).

As for last years victims, two are returning but will be interning with another group within the company … I'm a big believer that interns should rotate around to get the full experience.  The third intern from last year was hired on full time as an employee upon his graduation.

Stay tuned ….  I'm sure the interns will provide more than enough material for the blog ….
