Hey everyone!! Sorry it's been so long since I posted anything, I kinda forgot about this thing. Anyway, I know Kate has said that I will be posting about my job for a while so here it is. I'm actually at work right now, which might tell you something about it already. So far, I've just been helping out with troubleshooting machines and learning how they work. I don't have any projects of my own yet, so unless somebody needs help, I just kind of sit around and browse the internet. It's a lot like my last two jobs. :) When I am busy I really like it though. This type of controls programming is very different than anything I've done before, so it's pretty interesting learning how it all works. One of the machines I've been helping with is actually one of the most complex machines they've made. I can't say too much about it without getting in trouble, but it basically uses cameras and motors to position a stent at a certain point on a catheter and then crimps it on. I've mainly been doing hardware troubleshooting (checking wiring and connections). The software portion will come later on. I like that, although we are software engineers, we get to do a lot of hands-on work on these machines. It's mainly because there are so many wiring errors, but it's ok. I'm excited to start doing some programming of my own, and it sounds like it might start soon. My boss, Jake, sounds like he has a lot of ideas for new projects, so I'm hoping I get to work on at least on of them. Overall, I like MSI a lot and I'm excited to actually start doing some real work.
Other than work, I haven't been up to too much. I think Kate has let you know about just everything we've done. We went golfing the Sunday before last, and Kate beat me. I played absolutely horribly and Kate was doing great. We'll go out again soon so I can hopefully get some of my pride back. Kate's mom is coming on Thursday as she said. We're planning on maybe going down to Sedona on Friday afternoon and the Grand Canyon on Saturday. Should be a pretty fun weekend. I'm sure there will be lots of pictures to post. Kate's roommates move in on Sunday. I'm excited to meet them, and happy that Kate will finally have somebody to hang out with while I'm at work during the day. Anyway, life in Flagstaff is great, and you all need to come out and visit. Sooner than later would be a good idea unless u really like snow :)
