Interns

   It sounds like I'm getting an intern pretty soon. Some kid from Carnegie Mellon I guess. This is going to be great. I've never had an intern before. I don't even know how much I'm supposed to pay him. I think I'm going to make up rules at my office and pretend that it's standard procedure in any office to do something like that. I think I'm going to screw with him as much as I can without permanently damaging him. Most importantly though, at the same time I'm going to teach him the importance of wearing suits. I only have about 2 months with him, but I think that's a sufficient amount of time. Hell, it took me a weekend at most to realize the potential of suits.
   Have you guys ever had an intern? Or been an intern? Any good things I can do to mess with him? Leave some comments to let me know.

  8. I´ve been an intern several times. Depending on your boss, it either sucks or you have a great time. Mostly, it sucked. Either way, you NEED to get your intern to wear suits all the time, plus you need to take photos of that and post them here :)

  9. dude interns are just trying to do their best. Make him do whatever you don't feel like doing...it'll actually help him out.

    Be nice...i was there 3 years ago and its a tough spot to be in sometimes.

    What do you do for a living? (if it's not too much to ask)

  12. Been an intern, wasn't horrible. Wasn't exactly amazing either but hey you gotta start somewhere.

  13. At least he'll come out of this experience in a suit.

  14. Haha, before you guys think I'm terrible and going to torture the kid, let me tell you that I am actually going to make this an overall very enjoyable experience for him. I am going to mess with him a little bit though. It takes some of the stress out from a long day. As for what I do for a living, I'll make sure to mention it in my next post. I don't want to give too much away(and I want you guys to keep coming back ;P).

  15. Suit him up! lol, I'm sure he'll have fun, I'm curious about what you do for a living! I'll keep visiting.

  16. The only person I was ever an intern for was my father, so I guess it was me messing with him more than anything. Definitely joke with him in some way.. will probably make him feel more relaxed in the long run.

  17. hahah how awesome is that.
    don't be mean to him. just treat him like your own slave. that's what i'd do....

  23. Ah the power of a good suit, sure, i have an average suit but it still does the trick

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hahaha Cheese, if you had worn the suit when you did whatever it was, you may not have gotten in trouble.

  25. Tell him to do as the Onion cup tells him

  26. Being an intern is okay as long as you eventually get an offer.

    ReplyDelete
  27. And you guys are reasons why I decided to change majors and not do an internship. lol. Try not to make him hate his life too much.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I would love that mug. I have an intern. I call her my girlfriend, but we both know better.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I would say if he doesn't care about the importance of suits he doesn't deserve to be your intern!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Make a list of rules.

    Rule #1: You must wear a suit at all times.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Make him wear three suits at all times. HE WILL LEARN.

  32. You can't beat the "Best Boss" coffee mug. It's an original.

  35. haha poor intern!

    nice blog, good read, followed

    ReplyDelete
  36. I've got a state internship coming up! I'm trying to decide if I should wear suits or just button up shirts tucked in with a tie. Advice?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Haha, poor guy, teach him well

    ReplyDelete
  38. Just pay him in experience minutes.. I couldn't trade my minutes for anything even close to a cheeseburger with fries

    ReplyDelete
  39. I was also an intern at my mom's job for a summer. Everybody was pretty nice thankfully

    ReplyDelete
  40. Anytime something important happens, send him away from the action so he never gets any actual experience. ;)

    But that would be too mean. You'd probably have to actually train him on your own time then, wouldn't you?

  41. Good luck teaching the new intern. Internship are always great experience, but the pay is always nice as well.
