Normally the company takes very good care of our interns.. this year, unfortunately, the really good folks (my friends) who normally look after the interns and arrange their education sessions and social stuff were effected by the layoffs.. .. the students worked through this difficult summer under the shadow of the fear of layoffs, the layoffs themselves.. adn now furloughs.. They were feeling a little bewildered by it all.. still most of time managed to have good work experiences..<\/p>\n<p>i did my best to meet witht he group a few times during their stay.. they are great folks.. lots of different backgrounds and interests. we had feebly planned to try and make something cool as a group.. but as the summer wound down we realized there wouldn&#8217;t be time.. we opted instead to have a fireworks party here at my house.. and find innovative ways to light them&#8230;<br \/>\n<a
