The Intern: The Stuff I Do Around Here
Author: rageintern
Interns are synonymous with the word slaves. It is modern day slavery in a nicer, more convenient packaging.
Interns like us know that once we sign and agree to our offer letter offered by the company (well, at least the interns that I know) often said that it is like signing off their soul for the duration of their internship to the company.
I have heard of horror stories from my other interning friends who were forced to mop/sweep the floor, get Starbucks coffee for their bosses and never got offered coffee or allowance for their petrol and parking fees and so on.
*cue in standard marketing/promotional music*
Well lucky for me, I do not have to do all of this in R.AGE! It is the BEST place to work in! Everyone is so happy and cheerful!
… well, that did not work well huh?
But in all honesty, it is my second week here and I still need a lot of help and guidance on what to do and what not to do (not to mention, a lot of usernames and passwords to remember). I am referred to as a ‘pet’ here, and I am required to wear a bell so that the guys here would know where I am most of the time.
(But I’m a bit of a rebel and I don’t wear it at all. But it’s a pretty cool accessory though, I think I can start a trend by wearing it more often…)
Anyways, the stuff I do here includes updating and monitoring the blog, doing reviews, writing and so on (my first byline/article came out last week Friday!). Things are looking good, and I sure hope I can do more stuff around here.
This is Lam, signing out.
