Default Coast for two weeks?

That's what her boss and her boss' boss at Cummins said today after yesterday's company wide intern presentations. GWiz can't sit still, but I guess she can make double coin working for me on my client.

Some cute comments from management:

Both bosses said that she was the bar for all to reach.

And today, as they threw her a Ninja Turtle themed party, the boss' boss said there could be no more interns, because they can't get any better than GWiz.

I love the fact that no matter how much dad brags, GWiz keeps her head on straight and ignores this shit. She doesn't want the spotlight. Her current focus is fixing the effed up GT race team. Showing up in England without a race car was an atrocity. She will NEVER let that happen on her watch...if she gets the chance for it to be on her watch.

I'm not sure that GWiz wants to follow down the path of Cummins, but she does like South Carolina, and I can guarantee that she has an offer to intern again next year, but also a full fledged employment offer when she finishes.

My gut says she wants to chase the cloud. Trying to hook her up with an internship with IBM doing the same thing I do. She is built for cloud consulting.

She should tell her boss it will be great to have two weeks off because one of her friends needs help with his broken down POS Dodge Diesel truck.
