It's official, after eight hours of orientation, I have completed my first official (paid) day of employment at Micron. Aside from the requisite harassment-free workplace and confidentiality presentations I am very happy with my choice of employment. Even more incredible was, for an engineer-rich company, there were actual real-live females in double-digit numbers. Amazing!
Thats right, it says R&D, that's short for Research and Development, which itself is short for Super Awesome Engineer of Awesomeness.
