Ian Lewis' Blog

So much like I was two years ago, I'm going to have an intern this summer. Well, I won't technically be his boss (that'll be my manager) but I'm mentoring him in the ways of the force, err programming at a software company. His first day here we went out to lunch on the company as is custom. At lunch he mentioned some stuff about progressive rock and Dream Theater. I knew immediately that he had read my who's who entry or profile at work (he's savy enough to look me up at work so he may even read this blog. I guess I don't care). What I didn't think about until later, when he came to my office and showed me a copy of the Wolf Trap summer program because it had a concert by the Moody Blues, was that he might have been trying to "get on my good side" so to speak.

He doesn't seem ingenuine so it might just be that he's nervous about the whole thing, I intimidate him, and/or he doesn't know how to act. Any way you look at it's pretty funny I thought. I'm like sooo not intimidating, and he doesn't have much to worry about besides doing a good job at work unless he's a total asshole or slob (which he's not).
