Paying it forward, a bit

adrianemJumping (back) on the Friday Five bandwagon, with:
1) A reminder to self, and everyone else who needs the same kick in the pants, that avoiding problems does NOT make them go away. Today I may not exactly be grateful, but my spine is straight, and I am dealing. Go me! Also, people, total strangers, are unexpectedly positive when I eat humble pie and ask for help.
2-5 are job opportunities I am passing along from the director of the tech writing program I took at De Anza. I hope someone can use the leads to good advantage!
2) The writing team here at Altera (www.altera.com) is looking for a summer intern. Application is through the website (see below). The job description there is very slightly different than the internal summary below.
