I had an internship here during the summer of 2010. For the most part it was incredibly boring as there was SO much emphasis on safety (rightfully so).
For example, people would have to be cleared from an area in order for janitors to vacuum an area, so that no one would trip on the power cord.
I did get to go down into the salt shaft which was incredibly cool (also literally cool, which was a relief because it was the summer in New Mexico).
For the most part I upgraded some software systems and helped with some hardware upgrades.
The engineers were all characters. Several of them were preppers convinced that I was silly for going into computer science and not stocking up on gold.
