Meet the Interns!
I think we could all use a little levity around here, after the last few posts, don't you? I know -- let's make fun of the company's summer interns! Yay!
H.R. did something new and cutesie this year. They made the interns write little autobiographical paragraghs, which were emailed to the entire company. Adorable!
[Padawan is going to kill me for making fun of the interns, as she loves them dearly. But you know, my department can't afford an intern, so mocking them is the only possible way I can benefit from their presence. Indulge me.]
Hello! My name is A.S. and I am a senior Political Science major with Peace Studies and Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies minors at Blah Blah College.
Wow. She sounds fun.
Hi! I'm C.P. a recent college graduate with elusive plans for the future; I plan to go where the wind takes me, pray for me! You'll most likely hear me before you see me and even when you're stand right next you might just miss me, I'm short! I can be found anywhere there is coffee. My family and friends mean the world to me only they know how crazy I can get. Home is nowhere yet everywhere; I'm a TCK (Third Culture Kid). I love talking so stop by for a chat!
Thanks for the warning! I'm not coming within twenty yards of this one. Even to correct her grammer.
E.A. - I have always wanted to move north and become a Chicagoan. I am excited to test the waters of living here while interning. I have always loved to write and tell stories, and that love led me to the Blah Blah School of Journalism where I spent the last four years learning about all the creative ways stories can be told. I also spent much of my time working with my campus ministry and service groups throughout Missouri on many different projects to try to make a difference in the community. My ultimate goal is to work for a nonprofit organization where I can use my journalism skills to publicize education and poverty issues. My hope is that working for the magazine this summer will be a perfect bridge to connect my past and future work and education.
Is it wrong to be annoyed by her sunshiney attitude? Is it also wrong to want to contribute to her delinquency? As God is my witness, before the summer is over, this girl will be puking in someone's bushes!
Hello, my name is J.S. I am a theater education major at Illinois State University, hoping to get a job at a High School teaching theater and running the Theater department. I am auditioning for the Acting program at Illinois State in the Fall and hope to find success on stage.
Then what the hell are you doing here? Must be some executive's nephew.
Hi everyone! My name is J.R. and I am extremely excited to be interning here this summer! I became especially interested in hunger and justice during my senior year at college after I took a really thought-provoking class about World Christianity. I really enjoy dancing, drinking tea, Twitter, and summer.
Another one to avoid. "Drinking tea, Twitter, and summer"??? Hmm. Seems we don't have much in common. Oh, wait, I'm interested in hunger, too! Specifically, curing mine with some Ho-Hos.
[Okay, Padawan, I've satiated my need to mock, and I dutifully await my punishment.]
Comments
"I can be found wherever there's coffee"?? Yeah thats a nice thing to say when you START WORKING somewhere new. I would have gone with "I am a diligent worker" lol
What? Lying is ok.

Have you seen the episode of The Office when they have interns? This kind of reminds of that.
