Intern: "Aren't you diabetic?"
Me: ~with mouthful of SUGAR FREE jello~ "I am."
Intern: "And you're eating chocolate?"
Me: ~swallows~ ~through gritted teeth~ "I. Am."
Intern: ~shakes head~ "That's like, totally bad for you."
Me: "It's sugar free."
Intern: "Oh."
Me: "Dingleberry."
Intern: "What?"
Me: "I said, Thanks, Larry. For your concern."
Intern: "My name's not Larry."
Me: "It feels like a 2 pudding cup day."
The (not so) Incredible Interns
Hi. I am an innocent office worker at a large corporate firm. "The Interns" work at same said large corporation. This blog contains actual, real, no foolin' stories about our interactions on a daily basis. If anything, this blog will help you understand the whole, "There's always someone who has it worse off than you do" mentality. Enjoy.

If they only knew...
Sorry for the lapse in stories. I have stories to share, oh don't you worry about that pretty lady. Just super busy is all. Also, we have a new intern. She's Brazilian.
The interns can't keep their boners down.
I wonder what they would do if I told them about how yesterday, while I was taking a porcelain cruise in my favorite stall, the new "OH MY GOD I WANT TO BANG HER SO FRICKEN BAD YOU HAVE NO IDEA" intern, daintily walked into the bathroom, closed the door to the stall next to me and proceeded to unload what I can only assume was a king-sized chili cheese and pork crackling burrito from lunch that didn't agree with her.
It was pretty epic.
I'm waiting for JUST the right moment to "unload" this secret on the interns.
Or maybe I'll wait.
Until one of them asks her out.
And takes her out to lunch.
For a king-sized chili cheese and pork crackling burrito.
The more I think about this plan, the more excited I become.
What say you, dear readers?

This is what happens when the computers don't work.
The computers are currently having a hissy fit. Something going on with the server in the midwest. Good times. Email isn't working, so all productive work has come to a standstill. Here's how the interns are handling it:
~clickety clackety at my desk~
~enjoying the silence of the late afternoon~
~UNTIL...~
Interns: "HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-YA!"
~jump out of my seat~
Me: "WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?"
~interns are wearing the white undershirts they had on under their business shirts around their heads and face~
Intern #1: "WE ARE T-SHIRT NINJASSSSSSSSSSSSS HIYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYA!"
Intern #2: "YOUR MONKEY FIGHTING IS STRONG. BUT OUR DRAGON FIGHTING IS STRONGER."
Me: "That's....great. Go away now."
Interns: ~run in circles within my cubicle~ ~take papers and things that are tacked onto the walls off~ ~quickly put them back with a flourish~ ~do really horrible versions of tai chi~
Me: ~bangs head on keyboard~
Interns: ~crawl out of cubicle all sneaky-like~
Intern #1: ~whispers~ "You've won."
Intern #2: "THIS TIME."

The interns are singing a song from Wicked, with a few changes.
~heard from the copy room~
Intern 1: "Something has changed within me..."
Intern 2: "Something don't feel right..."
Intern: 1: "I can't remember who I DID OR DIDN'T DO LAST NIIIIGHT!"
~chorus~
Interns together: "IT'S TIME TO TRYYYYYYYY DEFYYYYYYYYYYING VODKA SHOTS. I THINK I'LL TRYYYYYYY DEFYYYYYYYYING VODKA SHOTS... ~quietly~ because I'm too effed uuupp..."
