Episode V

Friday was Jakes last day.
As we sat in the bar for happy hour, right at 5pm mind you, we reminisced. We talked about the job, the laughs, the day, the people and the crap.

Jake: “Can’t say I am going to miss hours on end of data-entry.”
Brittney: “Yeah, but you will miss us!”

Jake’s job was thoroughly boring. He input information into spreadsheets, sat in meetings about web design and picked on me all day. He basically had the most boring job in the whole Marketing team.

The most Jake got out of his job was hanging out with Brittney and me. We laughed every day. I know Jake is going to read this so I just want to express how lucky you were to have us there! Whether it was “decorating” someone’s cube or running downstairs to get coffee- we had a lot of fun together.

Friday was pretty fun, although we were reminded throughout that it was Jake’s last day. I even had a chance to get even with him and Brittney for putting leaves all over my cube! I had a lot of things coming in from the shipping department so I stacked them in Jake’s cube. It was great- his cube would soon be my storage space. I got even with Brittney by placing police-like tape all over her chair and blocking off her entrance. Then I printed off a sign that said “Recycle here” and put empty boxes in her cube. She was a bit surprised- Jake and I laughed till we cried.

I know that Jake will do some great things- and I can’t wait to see where life takes him. Hopefully out of his parent’s house! (Had to throw that in).
Long live interns! Long live happy hour.

Episode IV

So the dislike is now turning to hatred. Yesterday, while sitting and eating my Lean Cuisine in the lunch area with Brittney and Jake, I noticed my boss (number 2 of 3) was coming into the room. I was a little upset because I would have liked to eat lunch with her and become more acquainted on a social level, but I was already sitting with Brittney and Jake. Not wanting to get up and leave them, I let it go.
Next thing I know- I look over and there is Diana, eating lunch with MY boss.
Okay, this is getting personal. I point it out to Brittney and Jake. While they are simpethetic, I think they are mostly just relieved it is not their bosses she is flirting with.

Brittney: "I think it is because she is older, your boss must like her because of that! Maybe they have more in common?"

Jake: "She is already best buds with my boss- you better watch out Brit, she is coming for your job next!"

She is totally honing in on my turf! That is MY boss, MY connection, MY department. Who the heck does she think she is?? This is war of the interns…

Lately she hasn’t been as oblivious to our dislike for her, either she is getting the hint or she found this blog.

Episode II

Diana has become a member of the group, slowly but surely. We all go to lunch together, chat in our close cubicles together and talk about our individual frustrations together.
Yesterday we went met in the lunchroom. Brittney, Jake and I had gotten our lunch and sat down, expecting Diana to join us shortly. Imagine our surprise when we look over and see her sitting, chatting and cajoling with the CEO, boss-lady of the company.

Brittney: “Are you kidding me?!”
- Brittney especially has room to be mad.

Jake: “that sucks for us.”

Imagine our anger, as the newest intern of the whole entire company is sitting with the most influential woman in the place. We have put in more hours and hard work that she has! Why is she so darn special?

She is definitely out of the group!

Today we did our best to ignore her. It was pretty hard because she is a nice person. But she has another thing comin’ if she thinks we are going to be friends with her again.

Welcome to the office!

Welcome to the Office- Intern Style.
As a current intern and grunt-work go to, I felt the need for a place to whine, talk PR, and share my day-to-day experiences as an intern. Although I have done the intern thing many times over, this time it is for a company that I actually like.
I am calling this blog "The Office- Intern Style" because the show "The Office" has inspired a spin off in our marketing office. While I will be discussing Public Relations issues and updates, I will also be keeping you updated on each week's episode- in the Intern Office.
