I get to work at LANL this summer. Finally got my offer letter today, after weeks of waiting. I am oh so very stoked right now. I'll be working on something in Stellar Evolution and/or Pulsation. Very exciting. So stoked. :biggrin:

Congratulations! Enjoy every minute of it!

I will spend my summer time taking 4 classes I envy you.
 
don't forget the best part! you'll get to drive right by where I'm moving to! i know you're excited to possibly be able to see me!

If you call Flagstaff right by Phoenix then yes:-p . I'm still debating about doing the drive in one day or two. Part of me wants to do it one, just to say I could do it. And part of me doesn't want to spend twelve hours driving across almost the entire American Southwestern Desert. Last time I drove that much in one day was down the California coast, much nicer drive. We'll see :wink: .
 
Cool. I know LLNL, but not LANL. Can you post a link?

Well...kinda.

I'll be working on models of stellar pulsation. Pulsating stars are kinda like nuclear bombs, right? Actually, the physicist who is my mentor does work in X division, but that's not the stuff I'll be working with her on.
 
Congratulations Franz!
 
I am just full of envy, a job like that is not even work, ok you may work hard
but the rewards can be so great,very best of luck to you, maybe one day i
can say i spoke to that guy on the net. :smile:
 
Hurray for you! Enjoy the vast, sunscorched deserts of New Mexico.

Actually, I'm kinda looking forward to it. I grew up on the western edge of the Mojave desert, near Edwards AFB, so living in the desert is more normal to me than this living near the beach that I do now. Plus from what I've been told by people I know from the Santa Fe area, its a lot nicer than the Mojave.

Congratulations Franz! The Santa Fe/Los Alomos area is very nice. Bandelier National Monument is nearby - one can see old indian settlements similar to those at Mesa Verde. And there are nice forests in which to go hiking.

Sigh...more and more, I wish I had done Physics. I am so full on envy right now, but also very happy for you. :smile:

First of all, when I first saw this, I thought it said "stroked" and I was going to say, "You go boy." :-p :-p

But in light of what it actually says, it still applies! Congratulations! You go boy! :smile:
 
Congratulations and damn you! :smile:

People always look at me funny when I say 'stoked'. I don't know why.
 
You should take along a copy of "Surely You Must be Joking, Mr, Feynman".

I have a copy of 'The Pleasure of Finding Things Out', but not 'Surely You're Joking'.
 
Ah hell, one more round...


Congratulations!

We need more posts about sucess anyways. :approve:

P.S, never say 'stoked' again...ever.

I'll say stoked all I want.:biggrin:

I'll throw in some prolly's and a few chic fashion comments just to round it out if you like. Let's see what I can come up with...

Actually, I'm the only person i know who says 'stoked'. Even people here look at me funny when I say it. I don't know why. I don't even remember where I picked the word up from.

It's not that obscure.

Doesn't mean I remember where I picked it up from. I actually did an image search for it and got tons of surfing related things, but I don't surf. I don't actually like swimming in the ocean at all. I like going to the beach, but not going into the ocean.
 
You go boy!
p.s. Don't ever say that again.

You should try again, it's quite fun. The waves carry you around.
