- What a coincidence! I feel a little over my head in my job too!
-
- In high school I used to like to shoot small animals with my bb-gun,
- and my dad's friend down the street ... well ... he liked me I guess and he
- got me a job here at the Pentagon right after I graduated!! Mr. Quayle
- has always been real nice to me. It's really cool here where I work
- I've got a whole CM-5 to myself and they give me exciting things to
- work on and learn about. They gave me a bunch of technical magazines
- and told me to try to figure out how to use neural networks to target
- IBCM's. These neural networks sound really cool and all but I can't
- figure out the math!!!!! Yuck!
-
- But your job sounds better for me. Do you work with fractals
- and virtual reality and awesome stuff like that??
- I know C pretty okay so maybe I could do your tasks and you
- could do mine. We could exchange work with email!!
