I don't understand why people hire interns if all they do is expect them to do everything but study and observe and do what they were hired to do.

No wonder they didn't give us desks--there's nothing to need them for!

I totally tried to do a piece on that protest Ingrid was talking about and someone took one look at it and said "What paper do they think they're writing for?"

The really cool part of this was they didn't know an intern wrote it and what they said sounded more impressed than that it was accompanied by eye-rolling. And more like "Well, you tried, too bad we're totally LAME and don't publish stuff like this."

I am totally going to get fired if someone important reads this

Annnnd I also stuck it under the door of the editor's office, but that's irrelevant, right? Someone totally could have had it slip off the pile they were levitating in there. With no name on it. Or editorial mark-ups.

...at least I get paid, right?

I HAVE A DATE TO THE BALLLLLL AND GUESS WHAT DAI

I ALSO HAVE A DESK UNOFFICIALLY

Yeah, it is really competitive... and I know all the writers have been grumbling about the fact that there is a serious taboo on a lot of topics that would be interesting to write about now... I guess it was just a really unfortunate time to pick a career like this, but hopefully it'll change soon!

How is your nursing gig going!

It's going well! I don't think I've ever studied this much in my life, but I suppose I should have.
