Rowe, Rowe, Rowe my boat...

Well now! So I have finished my first week of employment at Rowe Inc. and boy am I excited!

I know it's still just the first week of work--I'm working part-time, Tues. - Thurs.--but wow is it ever great to be doing something constructive! I worked half a day on Friday so I could meet with the rest of the LA dept. and get work for next week. They had me work on a revised conceptual plan for a project we're working on that came back with some architectural revisions that required the landscape to change great deal. This week I'll be moving on to another conceptual project involving a local sports park. This is a new one, so I'll be doing much of the initial conceptual work.

Anyway, I hope everyone who's still popping in to read this [and even those that aren't] are having a good holiday!
All the best,
Shaun

Goddamnit!

I just fell down the staris...

That really frickin' hurt!

This is one of those blog posts...

You know the kind. The ones full of self-absorbed references to lyrics by the Nine Inch Nails or Linkin Park, and links to gothy, overly drawn, half-naked angels with black wings and single tears running down their faces. I'm sick with who knows what--probably just my 'nerves'--my stomach in constant and ulcerus turmoil between shots of Pepto, my body achy... It's getting better, I guess, but god am I ever miserable.

There is some good news, though! I've been offered a temporary position as a landscape architect intern at Rowe Incorporated, a local engineering firm. They aren't a firm anyone would have heard of outside this area, but that's alright. They 're mostly enigeneers and surveyors but they do a great many infrastructure projects which interest me and the majority of their work is both fairly hands-on and located throughout the region. They've even done several projects for the fair Village of Byron. They're also directly engaged in the "revitalization" of Flint, as the head office where I'll be working at will be moving into a renovated building downtown during my tenure there.

So I hope y'all are doing well, and your holidays are all very festive!
