Pamela

I'm just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world. But I don't think I'd take a midnight train goin anywhere. Suddenly becoming an adult hasn't really taken me aback as much as I thought it might. It's probably because I like order and control, so having a very consistent schedule and expectations for life makes me feel very comfortable. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine that I'm going to be working 8-4 for the rest of my life. At least my job is flippin sweet! I design sulfuric acid plants (and eventually ethanol production plants too) for an internationally renowned company. The work is pretty empowering, but the integral part of this job is that after I design the plants, I get to go to whatever country bought it and help start-up. I was just assigned a plant in the freakin Congo! I only 50% actually want to go there... that could be quite an experience though... but living in a fenced in/guarded hut does not sound like the most fun ever. Oh well. At least there will be Brazil (and Illinois... sweeeet) next year. We also have customers everywhere from Kazakhstan to Russia to Morocco to Australia to the US. This makes me a very happy panda.As a revision to this, I would like to say that my personality is currently in a dichotomic battle. Day-Pam wants to be really good at her job, responsible, and mature. Night-Pam just wants to stay up all night and get crazy with her friends. End result: It burns my brain.
