Ten Signs Your Internship Sucks
1. People don't say "hi" so much as cautiously eye you as you approach, then they quickly look the other direction to avoid any interaction.
2. The copy machine for a department of 50 people is a fax machine.
3. Hearing coworkers openly discuss how much better their last jobs/bosses were.
4. The lady who used to complain to your boss before he quit the company now comlpains to you, the intern(true story).
5. You get yelled at by the department secretary for telling two interns from another department that yours was having ice cream.
6. Your new manager gives you a project to work on, only he's leaving for Europe for two weeks, and he won't be back until your internship is over (motivation problems, anyone??).
7. Everyone else has a normal office phone, but you have a house phone which looks like it was just ripped out of the wall.
8. Through one month of work, you no longer find anything wrong with random masshole coworkers saying "Hey Intern" when you walk by.
9. Not finding out there's cake and ice cream on your manager's last day until your manager says "shit, i completely forgot to let you know we had cake and ice cream for my last day!" as he walks by your cube.
10. You create a blog entry to let people know how badly your internship sucks.

Classic! Now you have some good material for your next Organizational Behavior class:)
you obviously don't work at amex...bummer. We always get invited to cake and ice cream parties
i got one that didnt make the list.
#1 (with a bullet):
You share you cube with two (frequently used) printers. Top management uses the laser printer to your right, so checking espn.com is definately out of the question (which is ok because it's blocked anyway by the firewall). Accounts payable uses the DOT MATRIX printer directly behind you for their check runs - which amounts to 45 minutes twice a day of screetching 80's style printers that I could have sworn were thrown away a decade ago...
