Truck and Coach Technician Apprentice WOO





I'm a big truck mechanic

entering 3rd year of study of B.A.Sc. in Computer Engineering (Honours), at the university of ottawa.

if i make it to 4th year i'll probably specialize in computer systems (architecture).



i originally applied for Mechanical engineering...then switched. don't know why exactly.



so far i've worked 2 (non co-op) summer work terms for atomic energy of canada (government), and i've actually been offered to "apply" here for after graduation. good reference letters from this place too https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

that's what i'm doing right now, sitting here wasting time on the internet though.

bad thing is it's about 2 hours northwest of ottawa. so far away from other rx-7s, or if i ever want to get **** off people for my car...only rotaries are a few RX-8s, but unfortunately they all seem like pricks...



hate: the 2 more years of school i have to endure. not having enough time and money for the car



like: the possibility that in a few years i WILL have the time and money for the car

Funny how many of you are into computers and I do this car/truck thing as a profession



But you guys do it too as hobbyists!

i had a window but now they kicked me out and i'm in a cold computer lab with no windows surrounded by computers...so yeah, why would i want to stare at a computer all day and then come home and do the same thing https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

(anyone get that joke? laugh)
