It seems that internships in general consist of idle time and not learning anything. I would be more than happy to be helpful if only they would give me shit to do. What I've learned is: go for paid internships. The measly salary isn't the only draw. Apparently if a company plans on paying you, they sure as hell intend to use you. My other paid internship may consist mostly of busy secretarial work, but at least I have something to keep me busy. Here I am with nothing to do and no where to go for 56 more minutes. I've spent virtually the past 8 hours surfing the web, reading blogs and learning about the myth of the crystal skulls for no reason whatsoever. I'm well fed but trapped without an excuse to leave the building. At least at my other work I can determine my own lunch break. Sitting here all day doing absolutely nothing while getting paid jack shit is not good for my sanity. I'm tired. I'm full of unhealthy fastfood, I want to spend time with the boyfriend, and I need new music. If this is what it means to work full time, I want none of it. I don't want to sit in a cubicle all day and stare at a screen. At the very least, I'll probably have things to do then. If only I could watch a movie or something. Unfortunate I have people walking behind me all the time. My boss is coming back here tomorrow so hopefully then I can have an assignment. Not right to trap people in such a way. Most exciting part of the day might have been when a damn pigeon flew in.
I don't really know what to do with myself right now. 49 min and counting. This is ridiculous. If I'm not going to have anything to do I might as well leave.
I wish I had shit to do. The only time I ever go on AIM is when I'm at work. I gave it up for over 6 months before that. Now I'm online 5 days a week.Great.
