Ask The Intern

My reaction when I got an email asking if I was available to attend a meeting at the end of the day, when I was desperate to go home.

Reflecting on my diet as I near the end of my internship and my bank balance.

Free day on Wednesday, you say?

My Monday already feels like this, and it's not even noon yet :/

How I reacted when a supervisor told me the huge task she wanted me to finish by the end of the month should ideally be finished by next Friday.

When I'm wearing my headphones in the office and my colleagues are working.

Whenever a certain colleague starts telling me about her latest meeting with her demanding, monster of a supervisor.

How I felt when I saw my supervisor had acknowledged my research in a department memo...

...and what it felt like when my Head of Section sent me an email thanking me for hard work.

When a friend asks what I'm doing after my internship and I realise I have nothing except unemployment to look forward to.

When I spot a table full of hot policemen in full uniform in the cafeteria.

When trying to convince the girl in the staff coffee shop to give me a muffin for free at the end of the day because she is about to throw them out.

When I suddenly realise I forgot to add one of my (less understanding and scary) supervisors to an email that got sent to every other person in the section.

.....and when she walks past the open office door and gives me a death stare while I'm discussing with my colleagues how to correct my stupidity.

Even though I feel like this after an enormous lunch...

...this is still my attitude.

My reaction when I realise that there are only interns in the office.
