(You can all thank Elaine for this following post.)
Things I've Learned This Summer
1. Interns are the slaves of the 21st century. And high school interns get the shaft.
2.A 9-5 job can mean anything from 9-7 to 11-4 or sometimes even 12-2.
3. The Olympics are strangely addicting. Gymnastics and swimming especially. Except there's no way to wean yourself off them...you watch for 3 hours a night for a week straight and then are off cold turkey for the next four years.
4. Do not make out in the office when the window shades are up. You never know if people in the building across the street are looking. Or perhaps even starting a pool to see when you'll stop.
5. Watch out when eating lunch under a tree. Catepillars aren't really good about sticking to the branches they're on.
6. Post-it notes are always better in more colors.
7. Don't try to immigrate to the US from the Phillipines.
8. If you answer the phone with "Good afternoon, Senator Clinton's office," at 10:30am, people are going to question your competence.
9. Knowing the right people is everything. Who knew being the super of Chelsea's building can get you perks with the Guatemalan embassy?
10. It is not okay for a 27 yr old to call a 14 yr old hot and mean it.
11. CPK is god's gift to midtown Manhattan on rainy days.
12. When you tell your mom you'll work on your college app essay next weekend, you're lying to her face.
13. Giant cockaroches clinging to the ceiling can be easily removed without a mess by using a water jug, a tall person and some double sided tape.
14. If someone sends your supervisor brownies, you won't get any.
15. Typing, even if it's on livejournal, gives the impression that you're hard at work. Even if it's 10:40am and you've done nothing by answer 3 phone calls in the last hour and a half.
