      I work for the Department of Veterans Affairs at the Cheyenne VA Medical Center.

      It's a two-year federal government feeder internship that prepares me for full-time work for the VA. I pretty much do whatever comes up and help out the engineers and contractors where I can. I'll be working the first year in Cheyenne, then transferring to another facility for my second year, where I will stay. (Spots on my list include St. Cloud and Anchorage.)

      Overall, pretty nice gig - it seems like they want me to stick around as long as possible, which is good in this economy.

              I grabbed a list from an employment census and did my best to make it germane. I thought I'd included science. My bad.

                There are still people here that think voting for Freddy Meyer is funny? Welcome to 2003.

                    i'll remember that the next time you produce a report "What do you mean that the experiments aren't exactly repeatable?"

                    I research new methods and investigate the application of known techniques in different ways. Sounds like science to me.
