I&#8217;ve had a number of administrative &#8220;issues,&#8221; perhaps even more than when I was working in Japan, but they&#8217;re much more easily resolved.  The first day, I was given massive design documents to look over and get myself acquainted with the overall scope of our project.  I managed to scan through the first.  The second day, I barely managed to scan through the second.  Today, I spent most of the day doing documentation (kinda) for someone else in another group that is running short on time.  Ah, the life of an intern.  We are the bottom feeders of the office.  But that does have the advantage of not as much responsibility (can be good and bad).  But I have a pretty good feeling about this internship &#8211; I think I&#8217;ll learn quite a bit.

There&#8217;s an HCI reading group I&#8217;d be interested in, and there&#8217;s those free CS Buttons!  I like free stuff.  The button design really isn&#8217;t that bad, it&#8217;s just not my first choice.  It is the best CS design I&#8217;ve seen, so far, but I think it could be made a lot better with some small changes.  Anyways, I&#8217;m curious how it will look on a one-inch button.
