    I'm ecstatic! I just sent in my acceptance letter to Lockheed Martin for a position at their facilities at NASA Langley! I'm still waiting on a background check, but that should be no problem since I haven't killed anyone recently. :D

    I've been unemployed since Nov 2008 and to the point of looking for work anywhere, even flipping burgers, and this is pretty close to my dream job! And they offered me a lot more than I had hoped, as well!

    :spin::clap::grin: I'M HAPPY!!!! :happy::wave::thumb:

    I foresee a great disturbance in the Force. A balance will be seriously unabalanced -- who will post mammoth alley posts in the absence of NOG?

    :p

    Congrats.

    No, I won't be working on the Orion Space Craft. I will, however, be helping to lay a new foundation for air travel. The current system is massively overloaded.

    Orion is pretty much dead along with the rest of the Constellation program, so it's a good thing he's not. ;)

    Congrats NOG! :)

    Congrats NOG! That is super exciting!

    I don't have a joke or anything clever to say, unfortunately, but good luck :)

    Yeah, reminds me of this story about a guy from Pakistan who used to clean teenagers pukes from cruise ships between Finland and Sweden and when he moved out of here to the States he got a job as an engineer at NASA, which he did have a degree for...just a story I heard...don't really know if it's true or not...

    From flipping burgers type of a situation (or worse) to NASA...I think it could be worse. Good luck :)

    Hey, most of my aerospace program was Arabic of some kind or another, and I know at least two were from Pakistan. My Professor was even named Osama! :)

    For whatever reason, I did not see this post until now. I will offer a late congrats, and I'm happy that you finally found something in your field - I know you've been looking for a long time.

    Now that you've been working for a federal agency for the past few months, it should be sufficient time for you to have been beaten down by the bureaucracy that is the nature of such a beat. Don't worry - you get used to it and eventually accept it.

    It does strike me as a bit odd though; a deeply religiosu man working for NASA.
