I wrote an email to my lit professor, asking about and extension for my deadline, and his answer was (and I am copy/pasting quoting here:

THIS IS EVERY DAY AT MY INTERNSHIP, KAZ. EVERY DAY.

Except I am over the embarrasment and now freely read fandom wank while at work.

INTERNSHIP ~*HIGH FIVE*~ maaaaaan you are totes my hero Cathy, I am totally planning on psyching myself up to at least Facebook in my second week. I GOTTA START SMALL YANNO.

OR MAYBE I WILL ACTUALLY BE DOING SOMETHING AND BE TOTALLY SWAMPED ALL THE DAMN DAY I dunno, I actually want to get a crapload to do and have the reason why I am tired be because they are working me harrrrd and not just because I have to wake up at 5AM every morning and am too stubborn to go to bed before midnight (like RIGHT NOW, basically. HELLO LITERS OF COFFEE TOMORROW)

Oh dear. That sounds--fun?? Reminds me of my very first day of my internship last year, where I was all *shows up* and the guy at the front was like, who are you and what am I supposed to do with you?

BUT IT GOT TEN MILLION TIMES BETTER AND LESS AWKWARD. So there is hope! ♥ All you have to do is convince them of your brilliance. GO SHAZ GOOO!

Also I totally replied to fic comments at work. YES THAT IS RIGHT. ON MY SLASH FANFIC. ABOUT ACTORS FROM THE INCEST HOUR OF TELEVISION. *facepalm* Granted, on my lunch break. BUT STILL. So I guess I have too much faith that I'll be able to keep that secret. Oh well~~

Also, extremely randomly, HEY, ARE YOU INTERESTED IN MARKETING STRATEGIES? I totally have a book rec for you if you are. Because I guess I'm the kind of lame person who does that. \o/

LOLOL THAT WAS MY FUCKING INTERNSHIP LAST YEAR TOO, with extra showing up early to flavor that with ultimate awkwardness. Turns out the chick who interviewed me quit in the THREE MONTHS between that date and when I started and neglected to inform anyone of my existence. Yessss.

ajfhkjah ahahahah that is SO AWESOME-- just think it as playing your part in broadening the IT Guy's reading horizons or whoever is assigned to ~*monitor*~ internet use in the company ;DD

I ACTUALLY AM, HIT ME UP PLZ! I think I still have the slides from my Int'l Marketing lectures ohhhhhh how I love it (...okay not really) when the lecturers CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH FOR SHIT man that hurt the ears

ALSO YOU ARE NOT LAME YOU ARE THE OPPOSITE OF LAME--- LIKE EMAL. YOU ARE EMAL-TASTIC I HOPE YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE.

so it wasn't really brilliant okay I know but I am a tired person alright :(

[laulan]

LOL YOU WIN THE SUCKY INTERNSHIP PRIZE. Though come to think of it, I also showed up too early--NO ONE TOLD ME TEN AND NOT NINE, OKAY. But once I explained people sort of knew who I was, so yeah, you win. Did it end up going well?

The place I intern is pretty small, SO I LIKE TO IMAGINE WE HAVE NO ONE MONITORING INTERNET USE. Otherwise I probably wouldn't do it, because I--I have to look these people in the face every day. D: Not that I'm slacking off all day or anything, cos I ain't, but lunchbreak's fair game, I figure.

Word of Mouth Marketing, have you read it? If not: OKAY SO you know how most marketing books are like "hurr we are clever; we are SO clever we can fool the customer into buying our products, and so can you! >D"? This one is like the opposite of that. This one is like "let us work together, my friends! customer and business alike! 8D" It's perhaps a bit hippie-ish, but it's also just KIND OF REFRESHING to use marketing smarts for ~good~ instead of ~evil~. Because marketing is so FUN, but there's

The BK Mag internship ended up pretty damn sweet I must say-- they didn't have a new travel editor yet, so we lowly interns got to write full page articles too-- never did I ever know as much about trains in Thailand than I did that summer... I mean, the pay is a pittance, as far as I could tell, but being a lifestyle mag journo is a pretty sweet job if you just want something do to. Lolol I think that if you google my full name you can even read some of the articles?

And that book sounds pretty ~intriguing~ oooh shall keep an eye out fo' sure!
