   Summer jobs
  What are you guys doing for summertime? Myself, I got hired as an intern SDE (software design engineer or some such) by Microsoft. Can't say which group/project (it's not public), but it is inside the overall MS Game Studios division. Really cool stuff, they're giving me housing and everything (and my project is freaking sweet). That goes on for the entire summer, and then I've got about two weeks buffer time before it's back to school.So, how about all of you?   
  I'm back at General Motors as a Summer Vacation Replacement Student, got to love that title.   ;  Check my journal. Also, some updates: I'll be doing a lot of exclusive work for Matt Pinfield soon, as well as going on some shoots for HDNet programs.   ;  I am what appears to be a maintenance programmer for a semi-large regulated electrical transmission firm. It's pretty good so far.I received an offer to run a games programming 'class' (several courses were offered to me to teach including a Java MMO and a VB FPS), probably solely off my cover letter (mentioning you're a GDNet mod and you have too many god damned games apparently helps to convince people that you really like games).I much prefer an office setting, though, even though the games class would've been 2-3 kids, tops.   ;  This summer I'll be an intern at Monster Games.  I'm not exactly sure what they'll have me doing yet, but I'm really excited about it.  This will be my first programming related job, and it's in the game industry.  This will go on for the entire summer, too.  It's quite an opportunity.   ;  Itron factory worker, and walmart register jockey.   ;  This summer (and probably till I graduate), I'll be working at the hospital doing minor technical duties/jobs.Its quite fun; you work, eat lunch, mess around with the database, eat again, and run minor maintainence on all the gift-shop computers [smile].   ;  I'm planning on kicking back and relaxing. Probably also involve a fair bit of sleeping. It'll be a hard couple of months.I start a full-time job in September so I'm gonna be making the most of my last extended summer break [sad]Promit - sounds like you've scored yourself a great opportunity [grin]Jack   ;  Summer school, yay!Since my teaching certificate is going to take at least an extra semester (most likely two), I'm trying to get my actual degree as early as possible... So, yeah, lots of summer classes. Which is nice, because while they're pretty much a 40 hour a week commitment, I get a whole lot of otherwise not-so-fun classes out of the way fairly quickly.   ;  I was planning on relaxing, reading, and gaming. Oh, and I wanted to do some game development, clean up my house, and look for easy scholarship money. Hooray, money! Hooray, games! Hooray, books!
