Chong down to four

Couldn't be beat for his internship this summer. Company paid his rent. They also provide three meals a day, Monday through Saturday, free of charge. They do his laundry even. Rooftop parties at the San Fransico home of the billionaire founder of the company (also was founder of PayPal). Silicon Valley jobs are not in any way like a real world workplace!!! I cannot tell you how jealous - and yes, proud - I am of him!

In the boom times of 1998-2000, software engineers were getting 2-year leases on BMW Z-3s as signing bonuses. The downside was that some of them lost their jobs in the downturn just as the leases ran out.

Real world? Nah!

You should be! Most of my family is out in the Bay Area, and I love it there...

My nephew, on the other hand, is interning with Chevron in their Gulf Operations out of Baton Rouge...he's spending his time out on an oil platform...yikes!

And People's Park.

I worked with a guy who was in the National Guard at People's Park. One night he's on guard duty and the prettiest little flower girl brought them brownies and flirted for awhile...you can guess the rest...still gets flashbacks!

Baton Rouge or Lafayette?

He's in Baton Rouge, which I guess is where the Gulf Operations are headquartered. My wife is from New Orleans and we're having our son and his wife keep an eye on him.

He was the programmer for his high school robotics team that made the International finals twice here in Atlanta. Smart boy...

I had a kid from church whose wedding I just did on July 7th that is a PSU petroleum and natural gas engineer who was stationed in Lafayette about 50 miles from Baton Rouge. He is like my own kid and now works for Chevron in Bakersfield.
