So, here’s what is happening with Google. They are building a data center across the river, in Council Bluffs. Starting this summer and continuing through graduation in December 2011, I will be getting paid to work with them on some microenterprise development projects that they are doing in the Council Bluffs area. It’s the same kind of research that I’ve been doing at UNO, only now I get to work with Google. And make friends. Lots of friends. I’m about to be the friendliest person that they know.  And we’re going to do things that have never been done.

I’ve been lusting after a job at either Google or Gallup since before I went back to school. I cannot get over how many opportunities have come my way in the last couple of years. I’ve always been challenged in terms of having the right credentials on my resume. This is one hell of a turnaround.

There will be many more details as I go through this process, especially as I get closer and we start hammering out the details. For now, I need to get to my database homework. With great assurance, of course, that this is all going to very valuable. Good night, all.
